This subject examines the regulation of shipping conferences, and the rights and obligations of parties to contract for the carriage of goods by sea (carrier and shipper), with special reference to charter parties and bills of lading.
1. LLB students require a minimum weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 per cent to do this subject, calculated as SUM (credit points x mark)/total credit points. This requirement may be reviewed in the future. If a student enrols with a WAM below 65 per cent they will be withdrawn from the subject after the last date to add a subject and consequently will not be able to enrol in an alternative subject in that semester.
