Wilful Misconduct in International Transport Law
The main rationale of the conventions on international transport law is to limit the liability of the carrier. However, an aspect common to these conventions is that in cases of "wilful misconduct" the carrier is liable without any financial limitation. "Wilful misconduct" denoting a high degree of fault is an established term in English law. The Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules relating to International Carriage by Air (Warsaw Convention) of 1929 was the first international convention on transport law where the term was employed. A definition of "wilful misconduct", which can be found in later conventions regarding carriage of goods and passengers as well, was implemented in the Hague Protocol of 1955, amending the Warsaw Convention. However, the question as to exactly which degree of fault constitutes "wilful misconduct" has to date remained controversial and unanswered. This work seeks to answer this question. To this end, the historical background of the term, together with its function and role in marine insurance law, case law and international transport law, are examined from a comparative perspective.
The Professional Salvor's Liability in the Law of Negligence and the Doctrine of Affirmative Damages
The research in this book examines the issue of professional salvor's liability for damage caused due to negligent performance of salvage services. Analysis is focused on the relevant international law (1989 Salvage Convention, 1976 LLMC Convention, and the 1992 CLC Convention), the (professional) liability provisions of the chosen number of jurisdictions (England/Wales, Germany, France, and the US), the standard salvage contract forms, the standard of care, the relevant salvage case law, the sanctions for poor or non-performance, and the methods of calculating the limitation of liability.

The CISG
"... there is a lack of a clear and simple exposition of the CISG for students and practitioners. That is the role of the current book, which it fills admirably. All of the issues that have been raised in the cases and the literature are considered, but without excessive detail. This is a book that will do much to make the CISG an easily understandable text for all users, student and pracitioner alike." Preface by Professor Eric E. Bergsten
International Sales Law
This book assesses the state of international sales law and the provisions of the CISG.
Multiparty and Linked Contracts, Transport Logistics and the Uniform Transport Law
This book introduces legal aspects of business networks in logistics with the example of shippers’ co-operation in cargo bundling, which is the practice of manufacturing and distributing companies (shippers) consolidating cargo before the engagement of a carrier. Shippers agree to co-operate and to detect cargo matching opportunities before shipment. As a result, shippers can organize joint transportation, yielding significant efficiency gains in both logistics and sustainability terms. However, the current legal framework is not adapted to co-operation in cargo-bundling. This book not only clarifies the operation of laws (with the special focus on international uniform transport laws) but...
The Liability of Classification Societies
Because the liability of ship owners is limited, classification societies have been considered as exempt from liability. This book analyses which actions of classification societies may give rise to claims and whether or not the societies can be held liable under English, German or American maritime law. In addition, it develops the fundamental aspects of an international convention on the limitation of the liability of classification societies.
Die Widerklage im Zivilprozessrecht der Europäischen Union und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten
Die Widerklage ist den Prozessordnungen aller Mitgliedstaaten der EU und aller Vertragsstaaten des Lugano-Übereinkommens bekannt. Agnieszka Okońska untersucht das Zusammenspiel der nationalen Regelungen und der Bestimmungen des Unionsrechts zur Widerklage. Nach der Darstellung der geschichtlichen Herkunft der Widerklage wird zunächst ein Mikrovergleich der Ausgestaltung der Widerklage in den Prozessordnungen der EU-Mitgliedstaaten und der Vertragsstaaten des Lugano-Übereinkommens unternommen. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit stellt die Analyse der Regelung der Widerklage in der EuGVVO, der EuGFVO und der EuUnthVO dar. Aufgrund der hier gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden bei der Untersuchung des Zusammenspiels dieser Regelungen Konflikte identifiziert und Lösungen vorgeschlagen. -- Publisher's description.
