Shipping Law covers the whole spectrum of English shipping law. The book is designed both as an academic textbook and a practitioner handbook and is divided into three parts.Part one covers dry shipping, including cargo claims under bills of lading and waybills, issues relating to combined transport and international carriage by road, as well as disputes arising under both voyage and time charterparties. Part two tackles wet shipping topics such as salvage, collisions, marine pollution and general average. Part three concludes the book with a review of the jurisdictional and procedural issues that underpin both dry and wet shipping. Topics include tonnage limitation, jurisdiction, choice of law, arrest and Mareva injunctions.
In this second edition, commentary has been significantly expanded in many areas and particular attention has been paid to new developments such as: The 1999 Arrest Convention, The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, the Court of Appeal decisions in The Hill Harmony, The Berge Sisar, and The Tychy.
The book takes a structured and integrated approach to the highly specialised rules of shipping law, which are both placed in their commercial context and related to the general principles of English contract and tort law. Particular care is taken to help the student get to grips with the specialised terminology, which all too often proves a barrier to the understanding of this subject.

The new edition of this well established text continues to provide a comprehensive and critical study of the principles of law governing the carriage of goods by sea. While concentrating mainly on an exposition of the law relating to charterparties and bills of lading, coverage is also devoted to the development of new forms of documentation and to problems involving through and combined transport, in so far as they relate to carriage of goods by sea. The emphasis throughout the text is on the English common law approach but reference is also made to US and Commonwealth case material. Legal principles are examined critically against the background of current documentation and contemporary practice in the shipping industry. The book is recommended reading on professional courses and for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Maritime law and International Trade. It should also be a useful basic reference for members of shipping and legal firms and P&I clubs who are involved in carriage claims.

By the year 2000 the world vehicle population is predicted to be about 686 million, and in the United Kingdom transport consumes over 30 million tonnes of fuel a year. This review sets out the facts about air pollution by vehicle exhausts. Exhaust gas pollutants are identified and described, and methods of measurement are covered in detail. Legislation to control the problem is also examined, as are environmental concerns such as effects on health, and the contribution of the emission of carbon dioxide to the greenhouse effect. Further chapters describe how engine design affects exhaust emissions, and current research into less polluting systems. Finally, survey and measurement techniques for assessing air quality are discussed and suitable measures to reduce exhaust emissions in the short, medium and long-term are considered.

This book contains a comparative study of the rules governing the formation of arbitration agreements under Danish, English and Norwegian law. The relevant domestic legislation and international treaties, such as the New York Convention 1958, are considered in detail. The book deals with general rules of arbitration and contract law as well as distinct transport law rules. The central element of the book is the criteria which must be satisfied before a party is obliged to arbitrate a given dispute, however, also certain elements of arbitral procedure, such as the principle of Kompetenz-Kompetenz, are discussed. Of particular interest to the transport lawyer is the book's examination of the arbitrability of transport disputes under the international transport law conventions. The Nordic regime introduced in the new Nordic Maritime Codes of 1994, and the compatibility of the requirement for writing in the New York Convention 1958 and the documentation presently used in maritime transport.

Blackstone's guide to the Road Traffic Act 1991 contains a copy of the Act and a commentary on its changes and implications. It is intended for both lawyers and non-lawyers wishing to understand the new legislation. The Act abolishes many old offenses, includes offenses of recklessness and a number of new offenses whilst redefining others. It is divided into two parts - part 1 deals with road traffic law throughout England, Wales and Scotland, whilst part 2 deals only with London and lays the foundation for easing the flow of traffic through the capital. New offenses introduced include - causing death by dangerous driving, causing danger to other road users, driving otherwise than in accordance with a driving license, using vehicles in a dangerous condition and using a vehicle with defective brakes, tyres or streering gear. Other amendments include wider powers to require vehicle owners to name the driver of the vehicle, numerous increases in penalties, rehabilitation courses for drink/drive offenders and obligatory tests for dangerous drivers. The author was previously a police officer with the Greater Manchester Police and is author of "Blackstone's Annual Update on Evidence and Criminal Procedure".

The Transport and Works Act 1992 changes the very basis on which statutory authority for major infrastructure developments will in future be obtained. Projects such as railways, tramways, ports and harbours will, in most cases, no longer be approved by parliamentary bills, but by new ministerial orders following public local enquiries. The changes made will be of major significance to lawyers, planners, local and central government officials, statutory undertakers, local authorities (including development corporations) and lobbyists. The changes are so radical that nobody in the field can afford to ignore them. The second part of the act deals with safety matters concerning railways and other forms of guided transport. It reflects the realization, following railway accidents such as Clapham Junction and the fire at King's Cross, that additional controls were needed to ensure safety. One of a series, this guide contains both the text of the Transport and Works Act 1992 and a guide explaining the major provisions and their practical implications.
