Admiralty Rules

Admiralty Rules refer to the legal procedures and regulations governing maritime disputes and activities, including shipping, navigation, and marine commerce. These rules are part of admiralty law, which deals with issues like shipping contracts, accidents at sea, and maritime injuries. They provide a framework for resolving disputes involving vessels, crew, cargo, and maritime services. Admiralty Rules ensure that cases are handled efficiently and fairly in specialized courts, addressing the unique aspects of maritime law that differ from general civil law. This helps maintain order and justice in international and domestic waters.
