For centuries, warranties have played a significant role in the law of marine insurance and have recently sparked debate on a national and international level after calls for reform. This second edition includes a more involved analysis of law reform as well as a discussion of the recent proposals of the Australian Law Reform Commission.

Soyer lucidly analyzes the legal remedy available when a marine insurance warranty is breached as well as setting out the current law on marine insurance warranties. This new edition also includes:

• a new section on the impact of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code)
• reference to numerous decisions recently handed down by the courts eg. HIH Casualty and General Insurance Ltd. v. New Hampshire Co. and Agapitos v. Agnew (No. 2)
• a more in-depth discussion of the position in other commonwealth jurisdictions, specially Australia and Canada.

Baris Soyer is Professor of Commercial and Maritime Law at Swansea University, UK and also the Director of the Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law.
