Maritime and Admiralty Case Law

Maritime and Admiralty Case Law refers to the body of law governing activities and disputes at sea. This area of law covers issues such as shipping, navigation, marine commerce, and maritime injuries. It encompasses regulations for shipping vessels, liabilities for accidents, and contracts related to maritime services. Courts with jurisdiction over these cases are usually referred to as admiralty courts. These laws ensure safety, protect maritime workers, and resolve conflicts arising from maritime activities, balancing the interests of various parties involved in ocean-related commerce and navigation.
