“C.I.F. Gatwick”and Other Such Nonsense upon Stilts: Incoterms and the Law, Jargon and Practice of International Business Transactions

International transportation of goods is fraught with many risks, many of which are unpredictable. It is in the perceived interest of both sides to handle as little risk as possible or at least have a certainty of knowledge of where the parties’ risk begins and ends. Thus most trade terms were developed to take care of the nuances of risk between the buyer and seller. Trade terms, therefore, arguably constitute the most important element of the international contract of trade. 2010 will witness the unveiling of a new version of perhaps the most successful of modern attempts to standardise international business trade terms: Incoterms. This article reconsiders the utility of Incoterms and trade terms generally in the light of decades of international practice. The terms “ex works”, “f.o.b.”and “c.i.f.”are focused on as an illustration of the utility of trade terms, and the article tries to expose the potential for confusion and the need for careful consideration and continuous refinement of the jargon of trade terms.

Surfing the wavefront

Volume 18, Number 2, June 2010 p.77

In his opening speech to the August 2009 Law Council of Australia Trade Practices Workshop, the Chief Justice looked back 10 years to the themes dominating discussion about competition law on the 25th anniversary of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth). They included misuse of market power, the conflicting purposes of competition law and their relationship to popular perceptions of its proper objectives. Moving forward 10 years, those issues are still with us. Additionally, in the shadow of the global financial crisis there is greater sensitivity to the interface between international trade and competition law and developments in the Asia Pacific region, and that economic evidence in the legal process in the enforcement of competition law is likely to face a particular challenge in jury trials dealing with cartel prosecutions.
