About the book:

The aim of the book is to bring together the case law on marine cargo insurance to assist practitioners, whether they are lawyers, underwriters, insurance brokers or surveyors and investigators, to resolve issues of meaning and interpretation of the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC), the most widely used standard form of marine cargo insurance cover.

The work will examine marine cargo insurance by reference to English and foreign legal cases and the Marine Insurance Act 1906.
