Work Accidents at Sea 3rd Edition is published

The 3rd edition of Work Accidents at Sea has been published, written by Grahame Aldous KC and Linda Nelson, and contributing author Ben Rodgers.

Work Accidents at Sea provides an introduction to the language, law, procedure and practicalities of claims relating to work accidents at sea. It guides personal injury lawyers through the mysteries of the nautical world, the particular regulations and conventions that apply and the procedures of the Admiralty Court. The work identifies the framework within which these claims are brought, and the common pitfalls that befall the unwary. It is complemented by a full set of the relevant statutory provisions, with identification of further sources of information and research for particular claims.

This third edition contains a new chapter on the Athens Convention; addresses changes to the CPR in relation to the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court and considers in more detail case law on civil liability for reach of statutory duty. It also updates the provisions under the Merchant Shipping Regulations and references to related case law.
