Category : Law
ISBN : 1786437457
Book Description
Uniformity of Transport Law through International Regimes addresses the problem of uniformity of transport law and the potential solutions at international and EU levels. It concerns transport conventions and other instruments dealing mainly with carriage of goods by sea and multimodal transport as well as examining the Rotterdam Rules as one of the solutions towards uniformity in carriage of goods law. The discussion on international uniformity in transport law is complemented by an examination of regional harmonization in the context of EU law-making and jurisprudence in the field of international transport. The comparison between international and regional regimes reveals the complexities in application and interpretation of the certain transport conventions which is detrimental to achieving uniformity.

Book Description
This standard work is the only text available that deals with all the legal aspects of the carriage of goods by road, rail, inland waterways, sea and air. It has been thoroughly updated to include reference to the considerable amount of case law, legislative changes and other developments in the field of international carriage that have occurred since the previous edition. Significant amongst these are the advent of the Channel Tunnel, various new rules and conventions and the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules. 'Ridley' has for many years had as its basis the syllabus requirements for the Institute of Freight Forwarders, the Chartered Institute of Transport and the Institute of Export. This new edition, however, has increased coverage of case law and the practical issues facing lawyers, making it more valuable as a practitioner text as well as remaining essential for students of International Trade.
Arbitration Clauses in Maritime Contracts

Category : Law
ISBN : 1040049753
Book Description
Arbitration clauses are sacrosanct in maritime contracts. Standard forms of charterparties and bills of lading reflect a desire to trade over the trusted dispute resolution choice of arbitration. However, when incorporating arbitration clauses, disputes and interpretational complexities continue to arise evidencing that the law is not settled yet. This book introduces a holistic evaluation of the commercial reasons and the legal principles that permeate the incorporation of arbitration clauses in modern maritime contracts, contrasting arbitration with exclusive jurisdiction clauses, where appropriate. The book presents a modern specialised legal study of incorporation of arbitration clauses into maritime contracts, considering recent developments and long-established principles of incorporation. Offering a thorough research into English, European, and Chinese law, with the objective to assess how the incorporation of arbitration principles crystallises through the years, the book will be of interest to researchers, legal practitioners, and commercial parties.

Book Description
Freight Forwarding and Multimodal Transport Contracts, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive guide to the law in relation to contract forms and terms created by operators, trade associations or international bodies such as the UN and used as a basis for trading conditions by freight forwarders, logistics suppliers, combined or multimodal transport operators and container operators. This second edition examines the latest editions of contract forms and terms, both where their object is the supply or procurement of multimodal carriage, as well as where they are directed to the use of combined transport equipment (ie containers, swap bodies). Of particular prominence will be a detailed examination of the latest versions of conditions used by the principal UK forwarding, logistics, intermodal and container operators such as the British International Freight Association (BIFA) conditions 2005A and the current Freightliner Conditions as well as updates on many of the conditions in use and legal developments relevant to them, eg Road Haulage Association Conditions 2009, Maersk Conditions of Carriage, TT Club Conditions.
Intermodal Transportation

Category : Transportation
ISBN : 1524643513
Book Description
Transportation technologies in the field of unitization of goods, which culminated in the advent of containerization, have led to the subsequent development of intermodal transport featured by the integration of the following modes of carriage of goods: airways carriage, carriage by sea, inlands waterways, railways, and truck services. Whereas the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of the international intermodal transportation have been adequately addressed in scholarly publications, the legal regime related to the liability of the intermodal carrier is still unpredictable, quite unreliable, and does not respond to the requirements of the intermodal transportation for the purpose of the promotion of the global economy. At present, transport in carriage of goods means getting goods delivered from the producer to the consumer. The process would more likely involve an international intermodal carriage. The unpredictable, inadequate, and uncertain liability regime in international carriage of goods, as referred to previously, has a significant impact on the insurance schemes available in intermodal transportation. As a consequence, the insurance industry has been coping with conflicting laws and regulations while settling claims arising from frequent and high capital-intensive risks in the international intermodal carriage of goods.
