International Trade and Carriage of Goods

BOOK REVIEW INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND CARRIAGE OF GOODS Edited by Baris Soyer and Andrew Tettenborn ISBN: 978 1 13818 456 5 (book) 978 1 31564 492 9 (ebook) INFORMA LAW FROM ROUTLEDGE TAYLOR & FRANCIS GROUP MARITIME AND TRANSPORT LAW LIBRARY www.informa.com TIMELY COMMENTARY ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND CARRIAGE OF GOODS BY AN EXPERT TEAM An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers An engaging approach to the research and writing of a legal text, this book is a product of Swansea University’s eleventh annual Commercial Law Colloquium of September 2015, held under the auspices of Swansea’s Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law and notable as a ‘firm fixture in the commercial law calendar.’ Recently published by Informa Law from Routledge as part of their Maritime and Transport Law Library (to which editors Baris Soyer and Andrew Tettenborn have also contributed at least a half a dozen previous titles), this volume contains the work of a distinguished team of international contributors, fifteen in all -- and all with a formidable and varied roster of credentials and specialisms in this field. Fortunately, the editors have offered a couple of wry and reassuring comments on what they refer to as ‘the fog’ of commentary on the law of carriage and international trade, much of which is somewhat opaque. Swansea University, they say, ‘makes no bones about its aim to break the mold’. This book is the result. It offers a compendium of expertise across a wide spectrum of topics, delivered in a clear, accessible style, for the hard-pressed practitioner, is a singular benefit. Take for example, the initial discussion on what constitutes a ‘reasonable contract of carriage’ by contributor Ruth Hosking, who writes that ‘it is often easier to consider what constitutes a reasonable contract of carriage by looking at examples of where contracts have been found by the courts to be unreasonable.’ A fair point here -- and further explained by illustrative examples from cases. Similarly, useful analysis and logical conclusions carry on throughout the book which is divided into 16 chapters which together, cover a wide spectrum of topics from paperless trade to consignees rights, to the Rotterdam Rules, to containerized goods… and how about ‘letters of indemnity for delivering without a bill of lading.’ Also, check out the chapter entitled ‘Islamic Letters of Credit –Square Pegs in a Round Hole’ -- and have a read of ‘Lending on Waybills and Other Documents – Banker’s Dream or Financier’s Nightmare?’ As you may infer, this book offers a lot to think about. It is not unfair to conclude that commercial lawyers as well as shipping lawyers will find this book a refreshing, as well as an enlightening read, and as a useful work of reference. The seven appendices, for example, present over a hundred pages of key legislation, including the Rotterdam Rules, the Hague-Visby Rules, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992 and the Insurance Act 2015. As you would expect, the book provides tables of cases and of statutes and statutory instruments. For practitioners seeking a variety of timely comments on contemporary problems in international trade law, this book is a valuable resource. The publication date is cited as at 2017.
