The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1992

Abstract

From 16th September 1992 the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (1992) has been in force. This replaced the Bills of Lading Act (1855). The new law abolishes some over technical defence to cargo claims. However as with all new laws, the intention to revise some characteristics of the existing law may bring its own problems.
