Full text of decision 1
by Ulrich G. Schroeter
In this decision, the District Court Rotterdam concluded that the CISG did not apply to a Dutch-Irish contract for the design, supply and installation of cooling systems in a tank terminal.
The relevant passage (in para. 28 of the decision) reads as follows (in translation):
«5.3.
Based on the choice of law from Randridge's applicable purchase conditions, Dutch law applies. With the parties, the court finds that the Vienna Sales Convention does not apply in this case. It is true that the contract between the parties also concerns the purchase of movable property, but the contract relates predominantly to the contracting of work and that is not covered by this Convention.»
