Details

Shipping & International Trade Law aims to provide a first port of call for clients and lawyers to start to appreciate the issues in numerous maritime jurisdictions. Each chapter is set out in such a way that readers can make quick comparisons between the litigation terrain in each country, determining the differences between, for example, the rights of cargo interests to claim for cargo loss or damage in Italy and England.

A remarkable breadth of jurisdictions is covered, while the contributors are all leading lawyers in their countries and are ideally placed to provide practical, straightforward commentary on the inner workings of their respective legal systems.
