SOLM351 Maritime Disputes

Module description

The module will focus on the enforcement of maritime claims from procedural and private international law (conflict of laws) perspectives. The module will cover the distinct elements of maritime dispute resolution, including the frequent need for pre-trial security, either directly in the form of ship arrest or indirectly by means of a freezing injunction. The pre-requisite for ship arrest in England is a claim in rem (as distinct from general civil claims in person). The nature, availability and special characteristics of a claim in rem in the Admiralty Court will be covered.
