Abstract
Cropper speaks on the topic of recent developments in maritime law in the United Kingdom (Business Session 7). The core topics discussed in this paper are: arbitration, litigation, and mediation (especially the Arbitration Act 1996 (UK)), changes in case law (looking at admiralty, the carriage of goods, and marine insurance), and the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. Relevant case examples are provided throughout.
