Abstract

This paper contains the slides for Thompson's presentation about recent developments in Australian maritime law. Thompson discusses the following four cases:

  • APC Marine Pty Ltd v. Ship “APC Aussie 1” [2009] FCA 690
  • Tai Shing Maritime CO SA v. The Ship “Samsun Veritas” as surrogate for the Ship “Tai Hawk” [2008] FCA 1546
  • Mei Ying Su v. Australian Fisheries Management Authority (No.2) [2008] FCA 1485
  • Parlux Spa v. M & U Imports Pty Ltd [2008] VSCA 161

Thompson also names three judgments as decisions to look out for in 2009/2010, these being: Seafood Imports Pty Ltd v ANL Singapore Pte Ltd (VID1246/2006), the 'APL Sydney' matters, and the 'Pacific Adventurer' matters.
