to his suggestions for corrective action at government level, will naturally vary according to the interests of each government in upholding the ap proach it regards as consistent with its own basic interests and those of its international airline. I commend this book as a most valuable treatment of the subjects which are of concern not only to the academic student but also to those engaged in the study and application of international civil aviation agreements in governments and airlines. It would be fitting if it enjoys, as it should, wide circulation amongst such students and practicioners. Sir Donald Anderson Director-General of Civil Aviation Melbourne, Australia. April, 1970.

John Livermore’s succinct monograph provides a useful overview of Australian transport law, as of July 2017…This is a readable and useful publication which provides a good summary of Australian transport law. Simon Baughen, Professor of Shipping Law, Swansea University /Artho Cyraith Llongau Extract from full review of the 3rd edition in Journal of International Maritime Law, January 2020 This updated edition of Transport Law in Australia describes the main sources of transport law, jurisdiction and courts, state immunity, and the legal role of transport intermediaries. The scope of the book is broad in that it encompasses maritime, road, rail, air, and multimodal transport law. Almost half the book is devoted to maritime and shipping law which, for an island nation with over 95% of its international trade carried by sea, is as important as it is unsurprising. Whilst works of this nature have the potential to be a ‘dry’ read, in this case the author has taken an approach which makes the book eminently readable and usable. The text is well supported by in-depth research and enhanced with comprehensive referencing, footnotes, tables of cases and statutes, as well as a selected bibliography. With Australian society and the economy vitally dependent on all modes of transport this book will be a valuable addition for many in the transport community. This includes transport operators, shippers and freight forwarders, transport regulators and lawyers, as well as academics, researchers and students engaged in the study of transport. The author’s practical and masterful approach to the subject should go a long way to ensuring the success of Transport Law in Australia as well as being a valuable addition to the body of literature on this important topic.

In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis a unique combination of economic, political, social and environmental events has plunged the aviation industry headlong into one of its most tumultuous periods in recent history. Consistent with the fundamental nature of the aviation industry, each of these challenges has a corresponding, and equally unique, legal component. Aviation, as a global industry, has an international context across all technical and operational disciplines. Accordingly, the aviation industry is more affected and influenced by recent international events than any other sector of the economy. During this time the pace at which aviation law has developed has been commensurate with the rate of increase in regulatory and legislative control imposed upon aviation activities throughout the world. The constant challenge for any aviation legal publication is to make certain that the international context is explained while at the same time ensuring the reader is fully informed of the significance and application of these changes within the local aviation environment. Each area of the law is clearly explained in accessible language and supported with practical case studies to illustrate the application of the law within an operational aviation context. In Australia, the dynamics and volatility of the domestic aviation sector acquire its own unique challenges. The fourth edition of Aviation Law in Australia has been thoroughly revised and updates the final phase of the implementation of a 'new' regulatory regime that has been two decades in the making. Contemporary issues including the carbon tax, the Qantas grounding, and increased competition domestically between Virgin Australia, Tiger Airways and Jetstar are all covered. This edition also has two new chapters - one on military aviation law and the other covering space law. Both these topics are becoming an increasingly important aspect of aviation law.

Aviation has played an important part in shaping Australia’s culture and history through the course of the twentieth century. Australia embraced aviation from its earliest days, eagerly responding to its potential to cover a challenging country, to bring far-flung communities closer and to provide services that could not be delivered any other way. Add the romance of pioneer heroes, the vital role of aviation in wartime and the capacity to deliver aid to people in need in Australia and beyond, and it is clear why aviation is at the heart of Australia’s recent history. This book aims to set out the major themes that characterise Australia’s aviation history for a broad audience and to provide a foundation for a broader discussion, and for further research, about how aviation transformed Australia. Connecting the Nation is a vital and timely introduction to the history of civil aviation in Australia as we prepare for the centenary of civil aviation services in 2020.

The book discusses legal, ethical, economic and trade aspects of the Pandemic as it affects air transport. It commences with the chronology of the virus spread and examines the various facets of human existential perspectives affected by the pandemic. Following this background is an evaluation of the effect on trade and economics, as well as the legal and regulatory structure concerning communicable diseases applicable to air transport. There is also a detailed discussion on legal liabilities and responsibilities of the State, airlines, airports and public both collectively and individually in coping with the pandemic against the backdrop of public health and the law. The Conclusion contains various recommendations on proactive measures that could be taken to ensure the establishment of a credible and effective legal and regulatory system to combat future pandemics.

Against the backdrop of enormous technological strides, this book argues that the air transport industry must be constantly vigilant in its efforts to employ a legal regime that is applicable to the aeronautical and human aspects of the carriage by air of persons and goods. In this regard, safety and security are of the utmost importance, both in terms of safe air navigation and the preservation of human life. Although the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) addresses legal issues through its Legal Committee, many emerging issues that urgently require attention lie outside the Committee’s purview. This book analyzes in detail the items being considered by ICAO’s Legal Committee, considers the legal nature of ICAO, and discusses whether or not ICAO’s scope should be extended. Since the limited issues currently addressed by ICAO do not reflect the rapidly changing realities of air transport, the book also covers a broad range of key issues outside the parameters set by ICAO, such as: the need to teach air law to a new generation of aviation professionals; combating cyber-crime and cyber-terrorism; the regulation of artificial intelligence; traveller identification; interference with air navigation; human trafficking; unruly passengers; climate change; air carrier liability for passenger death or injury; Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (drones); and the cabin crew and their legal implications.

A sourcebook for students and practitioners who are interested in international business transactions and want to gain familiarity with the law and practice of international trade law, policies and ethics. Each chapter deals with an important aspect of international trade and business.
