An accessible introduction to multimodal contracts of carriage,
Multimodal Transport Law works from general principles toward
specific, technical problems. Adopting an international approach, it
addresses such key topics as:
- Contracts of carriage
- Transport documents
- The parties to a contract of carriage
- International conventions on the carriage of goods
- Multimodal situations covered by unimodal conventions
- Conflict of laws
- The rules applicable to the individual legs of multimodal contracts of
carriage
- The Rotterdam Rules
Providing a close examination of the relevant rules, regulations and
case law, this is essential reading for law students, useful for claims
handlers and practitioners, and of interest for academics and
legislators seeking a better appreciation of multimodal contracts of
carriage.
