Stevens Frank: The Bill of Lading

The Bill of Lading

Holder Rights and Liabilities

1. Introduction.2. The functions of the bill of lading.3. Contractual theories.4. Non-contractual theories.5. Bill of lading clauses.6. Towards a statutory conception of the bill of lading.

This book provides an accessible introduction to the American legal system and is a vital resource to anyone interested in understanding how this social system works. Its focus is on law in practice, the role of the law in American society, and how the social context affects the living law of the United States. It covers the institutions of law creation and application, law in American government, American legal culture and the legal profession, American criminal and civil justice, and civil rights. Now in its fourth edition, the book has been widely used in both undergraduate and graduate courses as an introduction to the legal system. This new edition follows the same structure as the previous editions while providing a thorough updating and reworking of the text. This edition reflects upon what has happened in the years since the third edition was published in 2017, the rise of social media, the strains of climate change, the globalization of risk, the pandemic, and the immigration crisis. The book addresses how these events and evolutions have shaped our fundamental comprehension of the workings of the American legal system today.

An Introduction

American Law

This book assembles critical contributions on the work of TRS Allan, the Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence and Public Law at the University of Cambridge, whose leading work in legal and constitutional theory spans almost 45 years. Allan has charted a distinctive path for legal, political, and moral theory and practice and has become a highly significant figure in the UK and in common law/parliamentary systems around the world. His ideas challenge established opinions about constitutional law within these systems as well as established views about the rule of law from more abstract or philosophical perspectives. Allan claims that law and morality find an inherent connection through the rule of law. He argues that there is a connection that flourishes in common law jurisdictions because although Parliament has sovereign legislative powers, its laws gain their full legal meaning only through an interpretive lens. This lens seeks to reconcile sovereign will with legality's basic moral ideals, especially the idea that law must be general and capable of guiding behaviour and thus respectful of the equality and dignity of its subjects. Allan's scholarship is powerful yet controversial, and it has inspired 20 leading scholars from the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to engage with the central themes of his work. By doing so, the contributors help to make that work accessible to a new generation of scholars and students. They also provide a timely framework for engaging in the most important challenges facing our democracies today: how our legal systems do, or do not, honour and respect democracy and therefore legislative sovereignty while at the same time honouring and respecting the rule of law, or the 'Promise of Legality'.

This book explores the use of Third-Party Funding in Investor-State Dispute Settlement, a transformative yet controversial instrument that implicates procedural fairness, commodification of justice, public interest and state sovereignty in investment law. It will be useful to researchers of international arbitration and investment law.

Third-Party Funding in International Investment Law

Dans cet essai, l'auteur propose une analyse lucide et engagée des fondements de l'entrepreneuriat africain, en plaçant les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) au cœur des stratégies de développement du continent. Véritables piliers des économies africaines, les PME contribuent massivement à la création d'emplois, à l'innovation locale et à la résilience sociale, tout en demeurant confrontées à des obstacles structurels persistants. L'essai démontre que les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat, longtemps construites selon une logique institutionnelle descendante, peinent à produire des effets durables. Trop souvent, les entrepreneurs sont perçus comme de simples bénéficiaires de dispositifs d'aide, alors qu'ils devraient être reconnus comme des acteurs centraux et des co-concepteurs des stratégies publiques. Cette marginalisation freine l'autonomie entrepreneuriale et limite l'impact réel des politiques de soutien. S'appuyant sur une analyse rigoureuse des réalités économiques africaines, l'auteur met en lumière les spécificités juridiques, sociales et culturelles des PME, souvent ignorées par des cadres normatifs importés et inadaptés. Il plaide pour une refondation des politiques de promotion, fondée sur l'éducation entrepreneuriale, l'appropriation d'une idéologie de croissance adaptée aux contextes locaux et la mise en place d'un environnement juridique sécurisé. L'essai insiste également sur l'importance de l'accompagnement post-création et du renforcement des structures d'incubation, afin de permettre aux entrepreneurs de surmonter les difficultés liées à la mise en œuvre de leurs projets. À cet égard, l'émergence d'un droit spécifique aux PME en Afrique apparaît comme une perspective incontournable pour favoriser la formalisation, la croissance et la pérennité des entreprises. En définitive, cet essai invite décideurs publics, entrepreneurs et partenaires au développement à repenser en profondeur les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat africain, afin d'en faire un véritable moteur de transformation durable, d'innovation et de croissance inclusive au service du continent.

The book also discusses the concept of a moral market against that of the Islamic moral market, its advantages over the conventional market and moral market, and analyses its role in redistributive justice. Islamic Perspectives on a Moral Approach to Economics is a new and novel contribution to the global debate on how moral values and religion can increase behavior that reduce the state of selfishness currently prevalent in economic affairs.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.
