A Uniform Law for International Sales

Abstract

To cope with, the uncertainties and complexities of conflicting national laws, international traders have been forced to devise various makeshifts to reach commercial understanding.The inadequacy of these expedients, the Author argues, demonstrates the need for reforming and unifying the underlying law.A project to draft a uniform law is now in being.In this Article, Mr. Honnold, an authority on United States sales law, weighs the constitutional objections, examines some of the substantive provisions of the drafts and the problems of multilingual drafting, and argues strongly for the participation of this country in the project.
