The contribution focuses on the lost profits according to the CISG Convention (United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods). The notion of lost profits and its extent according to Art. 74 CISG are presented. Moreover, aspects of calculation of lost profits, as well as limitations of the compensation for the lost profits are discussed. The author compares the notion of lost profits under CISG with the notion of lost profits under Polish private law. The author expresses his standpoint according to which the notion of lost profits under Polish law and under the CISG is quite similar, but by no means identical. The extent of the lost profits in two cases is different, as well as manners of its calculation. Therefore, caution is needed to avoid homeward trend and invoking Polish scholarship and jurisprudence as a guideline for solving the issues connected with interpretation of lost profits according to the CISG should be avoided.

The conformity of goods is a central concept underpinning the CISG and is based, broadly speaking, on breach of contract. However, questions arise whether the concept of conformity under the CISG has found its place in Ukrainian sales law, especially due to the lack of comparative research on this topic. This article, therefore, seeks to answer key questions and close gaps in legal research. In particular, the article highlights the differences between the CISG and the Ukrainian sales law and indicates where the latter requires improvements.

Contractual liability for damages is not limitless, which is also reflected in provisions of United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Internatiownal Sale of Goods (CISG). Limitation of liability can be introduced in several ways; in CISG Convention this was achieved by limiting the liability to foreseeable damages. In Polish scholarship this issue has received only minimal attention. The author of the contribution focuses on the interpretation of Art. 74 second sentence of the CISG. The aim of the contribution is to elaborate on key normative elements affecting the proper evaluation of the foreseeability and to propose a step-by-step method (scheme) of evaluating the foreseeability of damage that - in the author’s opinion - might ensure that such an exact and thorough evaluation according to the aforementioned provision. The author focuses primarily on the relevant time and subject of foreseeability, the perspective that ought to be taken into account, the factors affecting the foreseeability (will of the parties, binding practices and usages, knowledge of the party, as well as on the distinction between the objective foreseeability of damage (which refers to the damage that the party in breach ought to have foreseen) and the subjective foreseeability of damage (which refers to the damage that the party in breach had actually foreseen).

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (the so-called Vienna Convention, CISG) is considered one of the most important and influential private law acts of the past decades. The most compelling evidence of the impact of the CISG is the European private law. It is especially evident in case of consumer sales law of the European Union. The Consumer Sales Directive (99/44) and, to some extent, even the Directive on Consumer Rights (2011/83/EC) were based on principles and institutions derived from the CISG. The most important influences are of course the objective liability of a debtor and the institution of conformity of the goods; however, even the basic terms (such as “conformity of goods” and “non-conformity of goods”) are defined per analogiam. And even though European legislator did not borrow from the CISG its’ concept of the fundamental breach of contract, the further cases of CISG’s impact are seen in cases of Nachfrist and remedies available to the parties of a contract. Since European consumer sales law is one of the most important spheres of EU interests and influences national civil law systems, CISG may easily be described as the model and backbone of future private law harmonization.
