Summary
a. Article 28 of the CISG does not have a counterpart as such in the Principles of European Contract Law. Article 28 became a part of the Convention because of the need to acknowledge the difference in the application of the concept of specific performance in different legal systems.
b. The remedy of specific performance has extensive application in civil law countries, and its function is primarily to uphold the pacta sunt servanda principle. In common law countries the scope of the remedy of specific performance is more limited, and damages are seen as the primary remedy upon a breach of contract. This difference in doctrine led to the adoption of CISG Art. 28, when it was acknowledged that, for the Convention to enter into force and for it to become adopted widely, some of the signatory States could not be expected to relinquish the fundamental principles of their judicial procedure.
c. Articles 46 and 62 of the CISG give the buyer and the seller, respectively, the right to require the party in breach to perform its duties under the contract or the Convention. CISG Art. 28 provides, however, that if the law of the forum does not require specific performance in similar domestic cases of contract law, the court is not bound to enter a judgment of specific performance.
