Question 1.
BubblyCola, a soft drinks retailer with a large chain of shops in Country B, entered into a contract governed by the CISG with
Express Drink in country C to purchase some cases of vanilla flavoured cola. As Express Drink was late in delivering the cola, then
BubblyCola sends them a message on 10th of December; 'Please deliver cases before January 1st'. The drinks arrived on January
20th with 50% of the cases damaged. Advise BubblyCola about its actions in relation to the contract. Reference to relevant articles
of CSIG should be included.
Question 2.
Discuss the following statement: 'Both the Bills of Lading and the promissory notes provide good title to its holder'. You might use
the following example to explain the statement and advise AlwaysSummer. Seller Ricco in Brazil sells flip flops to buyer in London,
AlwaysSummer. In order to pay for the flip flops, AlwaysSummer orders its bank to provide a promissory note which is in turn
delivered by Ricco to its own rubber supplier, Chewy in Peru, in order to pay for some outstanding invoice. As AlwaysSummer
receives the flip flops, it realizes that they were not of the quality required and wants its bill of exchange back from Ricco. Ricco
argues that that is not possible.
Question 3.
A Tanzanian Company, Serengeti, manufactures handmade ornamental items which are assembled by some local communities in
the country. It operates under the brand SerenObject and would like to exploit its brand internationally. In setting up international
licensing agreements, Serengeti is seeking advice to include restrictive clauses such as territorial restrictions. Serengeti is also trying
to create an upmarket image and branding for its products and hence it would like to impose some pricing and quality restrictions
too. Advise Serengeti on how to best achieve its aims.
