In the Finnish reports, quotations in English from the Sale of Goods Act are taken from an official translation made in the Finnish Ministry of Justice.

In the German reports, translation of the reformed provisions (§§241, 280, 311, 437 BGB) are by Werner Lorenz. Other translated BGB provisions are taken from S.L. Goren, The German Civil Code (Littleton, 1994).

In the Swiss reports, quotations from articles of the Swiss Code of Obligations of 1912 (OR) are taken from Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, Swiss Code of Obligations, English Translation (4th edn, Zu¨rich, 2002) and quotations from articles of the new Code of Obligations and the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB) of 1912 are taken from Wyler and Wyler, The Swiss Civil Code, English Version (Zu¨rich, 1987).
