The Admiralty Rules

The Admiralty Rules are a set of procedures and legal principles used in maritime cases, governing how disputes involving ships, cargo, or maritime conduct are handled in courts. These rules establish how claims are filed, evidence is presented, and processes are followed in admiralty or maritime jurisdiction. They help ensure a fair, consistent approach to resolving issues at sea, including accidents, injuries, or disputes over shipping contracts. In essence, the rules provide a specialized framework for managing legal matters related to maritime activities, emphasizing efficiency and fairness in addressing maritime-related claims.
