Vienna Sales Convention: Applicability to "Mixed Contracts" and Interaction with the 1968 Brussels Convention

Ulrich Schroeter*

Ulrich Schroeter provides an overview of the law of "mixed contracts" in light of the recent decision of the Oberlandesgericht München. The article addresses the impact of Article 3 of the Vienna Sales Convention on this issue, and the interaction of the Vienna Sales Convention with the 1968 Brussels Convention both before and after the commencement of European Council Community Regulation No 44/2001 on 1 March 2002.

A case translation of the decision is also included in the 'Current Developments' section of this edition of the Journal.
