This book is a concise treatise on International law and practice on Bills of Lading. It provides a useful introduction to an important and complex branch of law. It is a scholarly work of high standard. The book comprises a series of lectures delivered by the author at the Department of Law, University of Cochin.
The chief merit of the book, however, lies in the skill employed in examining some of the issues in such a manner that they create interest in the reader and provoke thinking on his part.
A critical analysis and comparative evaluation of the Hague Rules and the Hamburg Rules relating to Bills of Lading are given and have been explained in a lucid manner. No doubt, the indices given in the book facilitate easy reference.
