Transfer of Ownership in International Trade (Publication (International Chamber of Commerce), No 546.)

"The issue of ownership is a vital one in international trade and one which is barely covered by existing international conventions. Although domestic rules may be familiar to local businesses, practical difficulties and legal uncertainty occur when foreign businesses try to ascertain the rules regarding ownership abroad and when the goods are being shipped by the seller to the buyer. This unique comparative study of domestic laws in 23 major trading nations serves as a valuable guide and reference book. Its in-depth analysis of the legal issues arising in connection with transfer of ownership will provide invaluable assistance to practitioners, lawyers and anyone drafting or interpreting international sales contracts"--P.
