CISG issues ruled upon:
Opinions were handed down in this case by the District Court (Rb Almelo), the
District Appeal Court (Hof
Arnem), and the Supreme Court (Hoge Raad). The only reference to the

is in the following statement by

The 'United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods' (CISG Vienna 11 April
1980)
which entered into force . . . later . . . cannot be appropriate." This conclusion was not overturned by
either the District Appeal Court or the
