CISG issues ruled upon:
Applicability/Exclusions from the Convention. This case involves a contract entered into on 11 March 1990
between buyer (Germany) and seller (Netherlands) for the purchase of a
caravan (a type of recreational
vehicle). Citing Articles 2(a) and 100(1), the CISG was held
inapplicable
on two counts: because this was a
sale of goods bought for personal, family or household use; and, in any
event, because the contract was
concluded prior to the effective date of the CISG in either country.
