Abstract
Date: 24.10.1988
Country: Italy
Number: 5739
Court: Corte Suprema di Cassazione, Sez. Un.
Parties: Kretschmer GmbH & Co. KG v. Muratori Enzo
An Italian seller and a German buyer entered into a contract for the sale of a cargo of fruit. A dispute arose between the parties.

The court held that CISG did not apply as the contract had been concluded before January 1, 1988 being the date that Italy's ratification of CISG according to Art. 99(6) CISG took effect. That is, after Italy's denunciation of the 1964 Hague Convention relating to a Uniform Law on the International Sale of Goods (Art. 100 CISG).
