Practical example on uniform law You are the head of the legal department of a German enterprise, which intends to buy computers from a Chinese enterprise. The CEOs of both enterprises have in principle agreed on the purchase. You are asked to negotiate the detailed contract with your Chinese counterpart. Does this case raise issues of unification of law (uniform law)?
