About this course
In Salvage, we look at what is salvage, the principle and subject matter of salvage, elements of salvage, the Brussels Convention of 1910 and LOF 1980.
We focus on the Salvage Convention of 1989 and the changes brought about by LOF 1980, and an important case law, namely The Nagasaki Spirit. We do not stop there. We also discuss something called the SCOPIC clause, which is a mainstay now in the LOF form.
