"This book examines the scope of the seller's duty, within each of the jurisdictions at issue, to inform the buyer of facts relevant to the issue of authenticity, together with the contractual force of any guarantees given by the seller. The author analyses the concept of mistake as it applies in each of the countries under consideration, and examines dol as a vitiating factor in Swiss and French law, and misrepresentation in English law. An account is given of the buyer's remedies, including damages and setting the contract aside, and attention is paid to the problem posed for the mistaken buyer by limitation periods."--Publisher's website.
