Publisher's Synopsis
Formerly known as 'Sale of Goods Carried at Sea', this ever-popular and authoritative title has been substantially expanded to cover a broader range of shipping documents, an international convention and all recent case law.This major textbook however continutes to cover in great detail such topics as the commercial contracts relating to shipping, addressing the sale, finance and carriage contracts as a single commercial transaction by focusing on the Bill of Lading. It places the study of the Bill of Lading in the commercial context in which it is normally used and shows the practical importance of the relevant rules.The text is supported by appendices containing sample trade forms and by relevant statutory materials including a fully updated version of The Sale of Goods Act 1979. Well-organised and original, this title will be of great practical use to all practitioners wishing to take a fresh and new look at the law of shipment sales.
