CISG하에서 물품의 일치성과 제3자 클레임에 관한 법적 기준과 판결례에 관한 고찰

The Section II of Chapter II Part III the CISG contains provisions addressing some of the most important seller's obligations under a contract for sale in particular, the obligation to deliver goods that conform to the requirements of the contract and of the CISG in terms of quantity, quality, description and packaging(Art. 35), as well as the duty to ensure that the goods are free from third party claims to ownership rights(Art. 41) and to intellectual property rights(Art. 42). Other provisions connected to the question of conformity are included in the section, including an article governing the relation between the timing of a defect’s occurrence and the division of responsibility therefor between the seller and the buyer(Art. 36), and a provision addressing the seller’s right to cure a lack of conformity if goods are delivered before the date required for delivery. The section also includes provisions regulating the procedure that a buyer must follow in order to preserve claims that the seller has violated the obligation to deliver conforming goods or to deliver goods free from third party claims. These include a provision governing the buyer’s duty to examine the goods following delivery(Art. 38) and provisions requiring the buyer to give notice of alleged violations of the seller’s obligations(Art. 39 and 43 (1)), as well as provisions excusing or relaxing the consequences of a buyer’s failure to give the required notice(Art. 40, 43 (2), and 44). Art. 38 and 39 have proven to be among the most frequently invoked and most controversial provisions in litigation under the CISG.
