Helps the reader keep abreast with the developments in Personal Injury, covering the cases, statutes and regulations, with their implications for practitioners. Providing analysis and summaries of PI cases, this book also gives the reader expert guidance on personal injury law with articles written by both claimants and defendants
The book adopts a new scientific and practical approach in dealing with the law of collision at sea. It begins with a chapter on the navigational rules and then proceeds to a detailed coverage of the collision rules with reference to the relevant cases which are illustrated by sketches. Collision may give rise to other incidents and claims such as pollution, general average, salvage award, etc. A separate chapter is devoted to these claims. Another chapter is concerned with the criminal liability of the Master and the Shipowner. The last chapter describes the jurisdiction of the British Admiralty Court, choice of law, the procedures of the Court and the various remedies such as arrest, rearrest and the MAREVA injunction. The impact of new technology is carefully analysed, such as in the use of electronic charts, the use of Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA), and the effect of the introduction of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) on collision incidents and the liability of the Master.
It has been over forty years now since the present International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea—the Collision Regulations—came into force. It’s been over forty years in which there have been considerable technological improvements in ship design and equipment. Despite these improvements, however, mariners are still having collisions; and marine lawyers are still being called upon to settle liability for these collisions. Understanding how the courts interpret the Collision Regulations and apportion liability, therefore, will benefit both the mariner and the marine lawyer and all those involved in teaching the rules and investigating the causes of collisions at sea. This book is for you.
