Duration of cover, insurers defences and rights of third parties are examined before the book concludes with chapters relating to claims and measures of indemnity. Appendices reproduce relevant legislation, standard forms and clauses and mutual insurance association rules. This book is intended for the principal audience for this book will be practitioners in the insurance and shipping fields. The secondary audience will be among students and teachers in International Trade Law, Insurance Law and Commercial Law.
