INTEREST (ART. 78 CISG) - INTEREST RATE - DETERMINED BY DOMESTIC LAW
OTHERWISE APPLICABLE TO THE CONTRACT

Abstract

A French seller and a Swiss buyer concluded a contract for the sale of fashion goods. The French seller commenced an action to recover the unpaid price.

The Court held CISG applicable to the contract and found the seller entitled to payment of the price plus interest. As CISG does not determine the interest rate (Art. 78 CISG), the Court held that it had to be determined according to the domestic law otherwise applicable to the contract.
