CISG issues ruled upon:
Applicability. The CISG was held inapplicable. Citing Article 100(2), the
Rb Haarlem (District Court) held
the CISG inapplicable "[a]s the contract of sale which was concluded
between the parties dates from a period
before the date on which [this] convention came into force for Germany
(1 January 1991) and the Netherlands
(1 January 1992)". The Hof Amsterdam (District Appeal Court) did not
overturn this conclusion.
