Transport Law in Turkey

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws,
this book provides a systematic approach to transport law as applied in <b>
Turkey</b>. The book describes the main sources of transport law, jurisdiction
and courts, state immunity, and the legal role of transport intermediaries,
with detailed reference to maritime law, transport by road, transport by air,
transport by rail, and inland navigation. A special chapter is devoted to
multimodal transport.

Among the elements of transport law considered are the legal status of the
vessel; its acquisition, ownership, and registration; vessel liens and
mortgages; the position of master and crew; maritime salvage and assistance;
marine pollution; collision; and carriage of passengers. Other topics
discussed include liability and limitation of liability, charter parties, and
transport under bill of lading. Case law, intergovernmental cooperation
agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and competition law are
also covered.

Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the
information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers
handling transport contracts or cases affecting <b>Turkey</b>. It will also be
welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to a field that
continues to gain significance in the study of comparative law.
