This body of law consists of the (state-made) principles and rules, contained in a piece of legislation, such as a code or a statute, and/or an international convention and cases. However, modern trade is characterised by a great diversity of products, industry sectors, commercial practices and trading and legal environments. This diversity has enriched enormously the ways in which sales contracts are governed today. The primary example of such enrichment is the emergence of a wide range of sources, emanating from the commercial and industry players, that can govern1 contracts of sales. With enrichment come challenges. First, in the light of the diversity of trading contexts and multiple non-state made sources, what is and should be the purposes and roles of the (traditional) statemade law of sale of goods and do these purposes and roles continue to be relevant? Secondly, how should sales law interact with all such non-state made sources? Thirdly, sales law has traditionally been seen as a consolidated body of the law. This is primarily evident in the reliance by the legal community on an all-embracing code, statute, an international convention and case law, underpinning them. Such sources and instruments are believed to promote legal certainty and uniformity of governance, which, in turn, are seen as essential to commercial law and the business community. At the same time, the proliferation of other sources of governance, emanating from commercial players, means that a framework governing sales contracts is far from being confined to the traditional sales law regimes and, arguably, leads to the disintegration of sources of governance. Is it true to say then that we are witnessing competing forces at play within this framework: those pushing towards uniformity and consolidation, on the one hand, and those resulting in disintegration, on the other? If so, is this tension damaging for the governance of sales contracts and, ultimately, for the trade and trading communities? Finally, how should sales law grapple with the new legal issues, conceptual and practical, emerging as a result of fast-paced technological advancements, particularly in digital products and electronic communications? These and related themes are the subject of this book that seeks to explore the nature and complexity of governance of sales contracts in the modern world.

The purpose a PPA is intended to serve will influence key features of its commercial and legal terms in different ways. The design of PPAs is also influenced by the particular characteristics of electricity as a product and the commercial operational and legal structures of the markets within which the PPAs operate. This paper analyses how these factors influence the price and other terms that tend to be used by independent power generation projects in developed and emerging markets across the world. It then examines the main issues that have to be negotiated in a PPAs to protect each of the parties against the risks presented by the nature of the asset and of the relevant power market","PeriodicalId":311022,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on International and Comparative Sale of Goods Law","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133097889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
