Admiralty Claims

This new work presents a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of Admiralty claims, giving practitioners access to highly authoritative guidance on the procedures. It also explores the underlying legal principles in depth so practitioners are fully equipped to use them in their work.

It goes through all stages of a claim, explaining when the facts justify an Admiralty claim, how to begin and proceed with a claim, how it is enforced, and how the interests of competing claimants and other parties are reconciled.
