Maritime Magic: How Cruise Lines Can Avoid State Law Compliance Through Passenger Contracts, Cameron Chuback
Maritime Magic: How Cruise Lines Can Avoid State Law Compliance Through Passenger Contracts, Cameron Chuback
University of Miami Law Review
Florida Statutes section 381.00316 prohibits businesses in Florida from requiring consumers to provide documentary proof of COVID-19 vaccination to access businesses’ goods and services. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (“NCLH”) has recently challenged section 381.00316’s applicability to its cruise operations because NCLH believes that requiring its passengers to provide documentary proof of COVID-19 vaccination is the one constant that allows NCLH’s cruise ships to smoothly access foreign ports, which have differing COVID-19 protocols and rules. In Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Ltd. v. Rivkees, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled in favor of NCLH on this …

The Lingering Influence Of Richard Ii And Lord Coke In The American Admiralty, Graydon S. Staring
The Lingering Influence Of Richard Ii And Lord Coke In The American Admiralty, Graydon S. Staring
Graydon S. Staring
It must be fair to say that a useful commercial and legal regime should be spread as wide as its usefulness, with as few artificial and irrelevant barriers as possible. All of our irrelevant barriers have been discredited in various situations, but two of them, viz. as to contracts made on land or to be performed in part on land, remain anomalously in two irrational and inconvenient applications. As they have no statutory sanction, they can be corrected by the courts, just as they have nullified them both in other situations and rationalized the jurisdiction in other respects. Cease the …
Mixed Policies And Separability After Folksamerica, Graydon S. Staring
Mixed Policies And Separability After Folksamerica, Graydon S. Staring
Graydon S. Staring
The Kirby decision by the Supreme Court in 2004 is a landmark in admiralty jurisdiction of contracts with both marine and non-marine elements. The Folksamerica decision by the Second Circuit, the insurance case that follows it in 2005, is a distinctly important precedent requiring additional analysis from case to case in applying the new standard to insurance policies. The old prescription that maritime contracts be purely maritime with its exception for merely incidental non-maritime elements is overruled. Contracts apparently mixed are to be examined to determine whether their principal objective is to effectuate maritime commerce, and if so they are …

Dalhousie Law Journal
Forum selection, choice of law and arbitration clauses are of great significance in offshore contracts, where disputes may arise in locations far removed from the fora identified in those contracts. In this article, the author provides an examination of the enforceability of these clauses in the United States, together with an explanation of the operation of the doctrine of forum non conveniens in that country.
Protection Of Shipowners’ Liability Under United States Law And Marine Insurance Practice, Izak Stephanus Fourie
Protection Of Shipowners’ Liability Under United States Law And Marine Insurance Practice, Izak Stephanus Fourie
LLM Theses and Essays
Shipowners are exposed to a variety of risks that are, to a large extent, unique to maritime business. Because of factors like the recent increase in the size and value of ships, increase in marine traffic, enactment of legislation imposing new liabilities, and the tendency of courts to make huge awards to personal injury and death claims, shipowners are exposed to potential losses or claims worth millions of dollars in the event of disaster. These heavy risks led to the establishment of the marine insurance industry, as well as the enactment of legislation that limits shipowners’ liability. This legislation was …
