Details

Practical guide to law governing the various modes of transport in a wide variety of jurisdictions, a separate monograph for each jurisdiction
Includes detailed examination of maritime law affecting transport
Available monographs cover transport law in Australia, Croatia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Norway, Spain, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and many more jurisdictions

The national monographs in this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws deal with transport law in its broadest sense: jurisdiction, state immunity, and the main sources of transport law. Specific issues and topics include the following:

legal status of a maritime vessel, its acquisition, ownership, and registration;
maritime liens and mortgages;
position of master and crew;
liability and limitation of liability;
charter parties and transport under bill of lading;
transport by air;
transport by rail;
inland navigation; and
multimodal transport.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is also discussed.

This section of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws and its monographs provide all essential information and legal guidance for practitioners confronted with legal issues arising from cross-border transport. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative transport law.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
