Carriage of Goods Course Work

Abstract

This assignment will consider the significant legal issues that arise when the goods are carried by sea. This assignment will therefore consider a number of issues. However, the main focus will be on deviation and the issues that arise in particular in respect of charterparty contracts and bill of lading as these are the most important legal issues that arise as a result of carriage of goods by sea. These legal issues can make it difficult to operate in relation to freight and claim for the return of the deposit. Although, it should also be recognised that the law has developed considerably with the onset of globalisation, meaning that international codes and laws are being created in an attempt to solve some of the issues that arise when the parties agreed to make contracts for carrying goods between the ports by ships. It is beter to start identifying the general principles of carriage of goods by sea and then a brief explanation of the case will be examined.
