“…A contractual party’s right to cure a non-performance under the condition that such cure does not create any – or at least any excessive – hardship for the aggrieved party, has emerged from Common Law traditions to become almost a staple of modern contract law, and of modern sales law in particular.1 This study reviews and analyses the respective provisions governing the seller’s right to cure under two important legal regimes, that of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, 1980 (hereinafter CISG)2 and the newly drafted Principles of European Contract Law, 2003 (hereinafter PECL).3 Different justifications to the principle of cure may be cited, whether in terms of risk allocation, good faith obligations, or the relational approach to contract as a framework of relations between parties that shifts the analytic emphasis from overt rules (whether set contractually or by statute) to the actual framework of relations and interests involved. …”
