Since its adoption in 1980, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has been widely recognised for providing a modern, uniform and fair legal regime for international sale of goods. The entry into effect of the Sale of Goods (United Nations Convention) Ordinance (Cap. 641) in Hong Kong on 1 December 2022 was, therefore, very well received by local business and legal communities. Against this background, the Workshop provided a timely introduction to the CISG with Professor Hiroo Sono delving into an array of important issues pertaining to the CISG in terms of its application, interpretation as well as its interplay with the domestic law. Well-chosen examples complementing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter led the audiences into vigorous discussions.
