Abstract
The Mercer Law Review last surveyed admiralty in its 1990 summer edition. Consistent with the last five articles on this topic, this survey does not attempt to include all opinions that touch on admiralty and maritime practice. Instead, this survey will focus on significant decisions that reflect some real change in, or explication of, existing law in certain specific categories. The present survey begins with cases dealing with issues of maritime jurisdiction and procedure. The Article then turns to recent developments relating to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act ("COGSA") and to personal injury actions. The Article next addresses issues of marine insurance and, last, a significant decision relating to the Limitation of Vessel Owner's Liability Act ("Limitation Act").
