单词 | Admiralty law |
释义 | 海事法 The body of law derived from the jurisdiction and practice of the Admiralty Court originally developed in England. It concerns questions and claims relating to ships and shipping. It covers maritime liens, salvage, collisions, cargo and passenger claims, oil pollution, insurance, limitation of liability of ship owners, ownership and charterparty disputes. One unique feature of the admiralty law is that the ship itself, or the ‘res’, can be made the defendant in legal proceedings. It can be arrested by a claimant and sold by the court to meet the claimant’s claim. |
