<i>Canadian Maritime Law</i> is the leading scholarly text and reference work on maritime law in

Canada. It covers the full scope of admiralty, shipping, and navigation issues

in the Canadian and international contexts. Since the first edition, maritime

law as legislated, judicially developed, and practised in Canada has evolved

substantially. Four editors led a team of twenty-eight scholars, practitioners,

and other field specialists from across Canada to produce a comprehensive text

accompanied by extensive lists of legislation, international treaties, and

cases, along with a detailed index.</p>

<p>For students

and practitioners new to the field, the text uses plain language and defines

all technical legal and shipping terms. For experienced legal and other

practitioners, it affords the means to analyze maritime issues according to

Canadian law, with due notice of its divergence from US and UK law and

practice.</p>

<p>This text provides insights into the

Canadian perspectives, content, experience, and practice in this field and will

appeal to legal practitioners, government officials, academics, students, and

all others engaged with the regulation of all types of navigation and shipping.

Practitioners and scholars in other countries interested in international and

comparative maritime law will also benefit from this fully updated work.</p>
