CESL legislative resolution adopted!

Dear readers, this is it let you know that the European Parliament had just approved the legislative resolution concerning the Common European Sales Law. 
Details concerning the substance of the adopted version will become clearer in the next hours, since some amendments have been adopted and other amendments rejected.
For the moment, it seems that the Parliament restricted the Instrument's scope to distance selling (including, but not limited to, online sales) and that an amendment introducing a notification duty in case of defects has been adopted.
The amendments proposed concerned quite substantive points, so their final "count" might importantly affect the proposal's chance to be approved by the Council during its first reading. Stay tuned!
