Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Law and Practice of General Average in the United States This brief summary of the law and practice of General Average in the United States was prepared as an appendix to the Fifth Edition of Lowndes´s treatise on General Average, recently published in London, and is here reprinted for private circulation, by the kind permission of the Editors and Publishers of that work. A few minor alterations and additions have been made; otherwise the text is as it stands in Lowndes. An index of cases and of subjects has been prepared especially for this edition. In the limited space available, an attempt has been made to give a fairly complete treatment only of the more important and disputed questions of General Average, notably those involving the authority for the sacrifice, negligent navigation, salvage, substituted expenses, etc. The recent changes and development of the law have been in these branches, and their further growth is a subject of great interest to adjusters, underwriters, and to shipping interests generally. It has seemed unnecessary to deal with the subjects of capture, embargo and ransom; and bottomry and sale of cargo to raise funds have been treated very briefly. Cases of General Average involving these matters are now rare; and when they do arise present conditions are so different from those of a prior generation that each case will have to be dealt with on its own facts and circumstances. In other respects, it is hoped that the rules of law and practice will be found to be adequately, if not fully, set forth and explained; and that the legal authorities, where any exist, are correctly cited in the footnotes in support of the statements in the text. Limitations of space, as well as of time, have prevented as ample a treatment as the subject of General Average deserves, and the author hopes that the future may afford him an opportunity to expand this summary into a complete treatise. For assistance in the preparation of the present volume the author is under many obligations to his associates of the average adjusting staff of Johnson & Higgins.
