Description
An account of the underlying law and the practical rules which govern the adjustment of rights and liabilities between parties to a maritime adventure when extraordinary measures have been incurred for the benefit of the common adventure. The third edition incorporates international case law developments to bring the text up to date and analyses the revision of the basic practical rules underlying general average adjustment internationally. It is essential for all those involved with maritime affairs to understand the implications of these new rules and how they fit with existing law and practice.
Reviews / Votes
"The complexity of general average and its relations with contracts of carriage, salvage, marine insurance and the law of unjust enrichment are duly explored and the difficulties which can arise as a consequence thereof are clearly demonstrated....the extensive discussion of the new York-Antwerp Rule on salvage and the chapter on several insurance aspects of general average contain much that is of special interest. It clearly follows that the author has considerable expertise in these areas. In fact, the whole book is of the highest level and provides some thought-provoking views.
The third edition confirms that the book's status as one of the leading English books on general average is well deserved."
