Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides a systematic approach to transport law as applied in Japan. The book describes the main sources of transport law, jurisdiction and courts, state immunity, and the legal role of transport intermediaries, with detailed reference to maritime law, transport by road, transport by air, transport by rail, and inland navigation. A special chapter is devoted to multimodal transport.
Among the elements of transport law considered are the legal status of the vessel
its acquisition, ownership, and registration
vessel liens and mortgages
the position of master and crew
maritime salvage and assistance
marine pollution
collision
and carriage of passengers. Other topics discussed include liability and limitation of liability, charter parties, and transport under bill of lading. Case law, intergovernmental cooperation agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and competition law are also covered.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for lawyers handling transport contracts or cases affecting Japan. It will also be welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to a field that continues to gain significance in the study of comparative law.
