Abstract

In this paper, Allsop concentrates on the position under the Admiralty Act 1988 (Cth) with respect to the notions of 'owner' and 'ownership' in the context of the arrest provisions of the Act. These words are undefined in the Act. Allsop also draws reference to the Admiralty Act 1973 (NZ) and the Supreme Court Act 1981 (UK).
