Description The article deals with the issue of the substantive validity of contracts. This represents an external gap in the unified regulation, as outlined in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (hereinafter referred to as the “Convention”). The text analyses the provisions of Article 4(a), which represents an external gap in the Convention. The text focuses on the interaction between unified and national law, reviewing the autonomous scope of application of the Convention in matters of substantive validity. Based on an analysis of history, doctrine, and case law, the text defines the limits of application of Article 4(a) and outlines solutions to situations related to substantive validity.
