Opis

This new title features the published papers of Professor D. Rhidian Thomas and a host of high profile speakers, originally presented at the Swansea International Colloquium on Marine Insurance Law 2005. It examines and analyses in-depth specific issues that are currently occupying the marine insurance markets and the law. The issues identified in this book are the fundamental issues on which marine insurance law is based, and of which are in the process of being re-examined and developed further to respond to the needs of modern insurance practice. The purpose of this text is to complement more general textbooks by delving more deeply into contemporary issues and thereby offering solutions rather than an introduction to problems.
