Maritime Law
This book have several chapters become incresingly in need of updating. For example, the chapter on Limitation of Lialibility has, in this second edition, been given greater depth on the 1976 (London) Convention in view of itsnow imminent coming into effect. Also the very significant and controversial, court ruling in The Marion Case (at House of Lords level) has been written into the cahapter.
The Chapter on Jurisdiction has received more restructuring than any other, largely due to the replacement of the 1956 Administration of Justice Act (Part I) by the Supreme Court Act 1981. Significant recent cases have been written into the text, for example The Maritime Trader and The Span Terza. Maritime liens have been given enlarged treatment.
