The Hague-Visby rules are not free from drafting and vetting problems, where there is no clear indication of contracting parties under definition of contract . The article 10 of Hague-Visby rules states “The provisions of this Convention shall apply to all bills of lading issued in any of the contracting States” Thus, the Hague Rules shall only apply to the external shipment i.e. shipment from a port of the contracting states to a foreign port. As for the inward shipment i.e. shipment from any port outside the contracting states to any port in the contracting states, apparently, the Hague Rules do not apply but rather the law of the country from where the goods were shipped would be the applicable law. On the other hand the Hamburg rules clearly indicating the contract in terms of parties .The Hamburg rules covers all contracts for the carriage of the sea and applicable to waybills, consignment notes, etc. The monopoly or unilateral action can lead to too extreme a use of exception—as did in the bill of lading, which led to the creation of Hague Visby rules. Bill of lading has the utmost importance in the current legal regime and as the part of the International Convention for the unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading .

So, when we break regulation A down, it is really is making up for all of the strict documentation that goes into investments.

This essay advances the position that the quotation under discussion is, with all due respect to the Author, entirely incorrect.

One of the foundations of arbitration is that awards rendered are final and not subject to appeal before the courts. In this respect, Article 5 of the UNCITRAL Model Law provides for minimal intervention, and says, “In matters governed by this Law, no court shall intervene except where so provided in this Law“. As a result, the grounds upon which a court may set aside an award or refuse to recognize and enforce the same are limited. Article 34 of the Model Law and Article V of the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards provide the restrictive grounds for such relief.
