Case review 23/02/2023
In an important judgment clarifying the construction and application of the limit of a carrier’s liability under Article IV(5)(a) of the Hague-Visby Rules, the Commercial Court (declining to follow an earlier controversial decision in The “LIMNOS” [2008]) held that the limit of liability is to be calculated by reference to the weight of goods which have suffered both physical and/or economic loss.

Article 24/01/2023
At first glance, the waters can be murky when wading through a determination of a maritime employee’s status as a Jones Act seaman or a longshoreman. The determination of whether an individual is a Jones Act seaman or a longshoreman, which determination is based on the individual's job duties, the nature of their work, and the specific circumstances under which the individual is employed, is critically important. The Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688, and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (“LHWCA”), 33 U.S.C. § 901 et seq., each provide different legal protections and remedies for workers who are injured on the job.

Article 22/12/2022
Free pratique is permission given by a port for a vessel to enter once it has been certified free of infectious disease by the competent health authorities.
