To mark the 30th anniversary of the Institute of Maritime Law at Southampton University, current and former maritime law researchers came together to discuss the evolution of this fascinating area of law in the last 30 years and to stimulate discussion on its possible future. Their papers, edited by Professor Malcolm Clarke under the title Maritime Law Evolving, provide a series of thought-provoking essays on the most controversial and topical issues which have occupied maritime law researchers in the last three decades and which will continue to be at the heart of this ever-evolving discipline in the foreseeable future. The resulting work cuts across disciplines, spanning developments in areas as diverse as the management of the oceans and the evolution of the carriage and insurance sides of shipping law, including the ever- increasing influence of the European legislator in matters of conflict of laws and enforcement.

An exemption clause is an agreement in a contract that stipulates that a party is limited or excluded from liability. A term is unfair if: - it's contrary to good faith - it causes a significant imbalance in the rights and obligations of the parties to the detriment of the consumer. Exemption clauses and unfair terms can be used unfairly and, sometimes, disadvantage a party and their use is regulated. The two main pieces of legislation regulating their use are: 1. The Unfair Terms Act 1977 which now only applies to liability arising in the course of a business and in relation to liability arising towards other businesses; and 2. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 consolidates the provisions that previously applied to consumers under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Macdonald's Exemption Clauses and Unfair Terms is an expert analysis covering both the incorporation and construction of the key clauses and the relevant legislation. Fully revised and updated, the new third edition will include coverage of: - the changes brought about by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 with a comparison of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. - analysis and interpretation of case law which has considered the effect and interpretation of unfair terms since the 2nd edition such as: The Office of Fair Trading v Foxtons Ltd 2009] EWHC 1681 (Ch); The Office of Fair Trading v Ashbourne Management Services Ltd and Others 2011] EWHC 1237 (Ch); Case C-243/08 Pannon GSM Zrt v Erzs bet Sustikn Gyo'fi 2009] ECR I-04713; Case C-168/05, Elisa Mar a Mostaza Claro v Centro M vil Milenium SL 2006] ECR I-10421 and the CMA analysis of these cases). - analysis and interpretation of the significant amount of case law which has dealt with exemptions since the 2nd edition - analysis and interpretatipon of how the courts now interpret contract clauses after the decisions of the Supreme Court in Rainy Sky S.
