Research Abstract |
In this research, the knowledge structure of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has been clarified by American, German and Japanese legal experts on this law and researchers on legal artificial intelligence jointly. The reasoning processes concluding the results of the applications of the CISG to cases were examined on the basis of the interpretation theories in each country from the viewpoint of comparative law. And the research results of legal artificial intelligence were applied to the analysis of the CISG. As a result, the reasons for the international differences in interpretations and applications of law to cases have been clarified. On the problem of the right to avoid a contract concerning Article 49 of the CISG, it has become clear that the above differences originate in differences in the interpretation propositions added in the process of the justification, i.e. differences in scopes settings of restrictions imposed by the expressions of the provisions and differences in estimates of results of the applications of law. In addition, it has been made clear that experts in statute law states put flexible interpretations rather than experts on the basis of common law, and that the experts on the CISG have a common disposition. The clarified knowledge structure has been installed into the legal knowledge base system, and differences in the reasoning processes have been able to be demonstrated on the system.
