UNCITRAL CASE DIGEST
The UNCITRAL Digest of case law on the United
Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods [*]
A/CN.9/SER.C/DIGEST/CISG/78 [8 June 2004]
Reproduced with the permission of UNCITRAL
[Text of Article 78
Digest of Article 78 case law
- Prerequisites for entitlement to interest
- Interest rate]
| ARTICLE 78
If a party fails to pay the price or any other sum that is in arrears, the other party is entitled to interest on it, without prejudice to any claim for damages recoverable under article 74. |
DIGEST OF ARTICLE 78 CASE LAW
Prerequisites for entitlement to interest
1. This provision deals with the right to interest on "the price or any other sum that is in
arrears", with the exception of the instance where the seller has to refund the purchase price
after the contract has been avoided, in which case article 84 of the Convention applies as lex
specialis.
2. Article 78 entitles to interest on "the price and any other sum that is in arrears";
according to case law, this includes damages.[1]
3. Entitlement to interest only [2] presupposes that the sum is due [3] and that the debtor failed
to comply with its obligation to pay the price or any other sum by the time specified in the
contract [4] or, absent such specification, by the Convention.[5] According to several courts, the
entitlement to interest does not, unlike under some domestic legal regimes, depend on any
formal notice to be given to the debtor.[6] As a consequence, interest starts to accrue as soon
as the debtor is in arrears. As far as damages are concerned, a court stated that interest
accrues from the time damages are due.[7]
4. It must be noted, however, that both an arbitral tribunal [8] and a state court [9] stated that
interest does not accrue unless the creditor sent a formal notice requiring payment to the debtor in default.
5. The entitlement to interest also does not depend on the creditor being able to prove to
have suffered any loss. Therefore, interest can be claimed pursuant to article 78 independently
from the damage caused by the payment in arrears.[10]
6. As stated in article 78, the entitlement to interest on sums in arrears is without prejudice
to any claim by the creditor for damages recoverable under article 74,[11] such as a claim for the
expenses triggered by the need to have to resort to a bank loan [12] or a claim based upon the
creditor not being able to invest the sum profitably.[13] This led one arbitral tribunal to state that
the purpose of article 78 is to introduce the distinction between interest and damages.[14] It must
be noted, that in order for a claim for damages -- in addition to a claim for interest on sums in
arrears -- to be successful, all requirements set forth in article 74 must be met [15] and proved
by the creditor,[16] i.e. the damaged party.
Interest rate
7. Several courts pointed out that this provision merely sets forth a general entitlement to
interest;[17] it does not specify the interest rate to be applied,[18] which is why one court
considered the solution contained in article 78 a "compromise".[19] According to one court [20] and
an arbitral tribunal,[21] this is due to irreconcilable differences which emerged during the Vienna
Diplomatic Conference.
8. The lack of a specific formula to calculate the rate of interest has led some courts to
consider this matter as one governed by, albeit not expressly settled in, the Convention.[22] Other
courts consider this matter one that is not governed at all by the Convention. This difference in
qualifying this matter has led to diverging solutions as to the applicable interest rate, since under
the Convention, the matters governed by, but not expressly settled in, the Convention have to
be dealt with differently than those falling outside the Convention's scope. According to
article 7(2) of the Convention, the former matters have to be settled in conformity with the
general principles on which the Convention is based or, in the absence of those principles, in
conformity with the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law. However,
if a matter is considered to fall outside the Convention's scope, it must be settled in conformity
with the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law, without any recourse
to the "general principles" of the Convention.
9. Several decisions have sought a solution on the basis of general principles on which the
Convention is based. Some courts and arbitral tribunals [23] invoked article 9 of the Convention
in order to solve the issue of the applicable rates of interest and determined the amount of
interest payable according to the relevant trade usages. According to two arbitral awards [24] "the
applicable interest rate is to be determined autonomously on the basis of the general principles underlying the Convention", on the grounds that the recourse to domestic law would lead to results contrary to those promoted by the
