The purpose of this work reflects the aim expressed by Michael Wilford in Time Charters , the first book in the Lloyd s Shipping Law Library, which is to provide the busy practitioner with the legal authorities relevant to the issues they may encounter in relation to marine cargo insurance.
I am grateful to a number of people for their help with the book, and must thank first of all Professor Charles Debattista, then director of the Institute of Maritime Law at the University of Southampton, for inviting me to join the Institute. Emeritus Professor Robert Grime kindly read early chapters and advised and encouraged me at the outset of the work. Professor Yvonne Baatz read the drafts on the chapter on law and jurisdiction clauses. Alexander Sandiforth, research assistant at the Institute, must be commended for his unstinting research.
