Summary |
The papers comprising this volume are the initial effort to fill the great gap that exists presently in Inland Marine claims literature. More accurately, however, this work might be referred to as Part I, because it does not represent a comprehensive treatment of this extremely broad field. The subject matter treated was chosen because it appeared to present some of the most pressing problems under Inland Marine coverage and because it seemed to underscore the need for accelerated efforts in the direction of rounding out the literature of this field.
Because the Inland Marine insurance contract derives its legal significance from first, the general law of insurance contracts; second, the law of carriers and bailment; third, the rules of interpretation peculiar to Inland Marine policies; and fourth, the doctrine of subrogation, these papers have been classified in this volume under the titles: General Principles, Transportation and Bailment, Problems Pertinent to Specific Policies, and Subrogation.
