The Roots And False Aspersions Of Shipowner's Limitation Of Liability, Graydon S. Staring Jun 2008

The Roots And False Aspersions Of Shipowner's Limitation Of Liability, Graydon S. Staring

Graydon S. Staring

Limitation of enterprise liability is today so commonplace that we see notice of it all around us in the words “incorporated” and “limited” and their abbreviations, and take it for granted that any sizeable business and many small ones enjoy limited liability.

That it has survived the development and ready availability of corporate limitation is at first remarkable but becomes quite understandable when its history, its foundations in the policy of maritime nations, its relation to modern commercial maritime …
