This standard work is the only text available that deals with all the legal aspects of the carriage of goods by road, rail, inland waterways, sea and air. It has been thoroughly updated to include reference to the considerable amount of case law, legislative changes and other developments in the field of international carriage that have occurred since the previous edition. Significant amongst these are the advent of the Channel Tunnel, various new rules and conventions and the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules. 'Ridley' has for many years had as its basis the syllabus requirements for the Institute of Freight Forwarders, the Chartered Institute of Transport and the Institute of Export. This new edition, however, has increased coverage of case law and the practical issues facing lawyers, making it more valuable as a practitioner text as well as remaining essential for students of International Trade.

Introduction to the Law of Carriage of Goods is a comprehensive guide to the law of carriage of goods by land, sea and air, along with a brief summary of the law relating to passengers and their luggage.

Uniformity of Transport Law through International Regimes addresses the problem of uniformity of transport law and the potential solutions at international and EU levels. It concerns transport conventions and other instruments dealing mainly with carriage of goods by sea and multimodal transport as well as examining the Rotterdam Rules as one of the solutions towards uniformity in carriage of goods law. The discussion on international uniformity in transport law is complemented by an examination of regional harmonization in the context of EU law-making and jurisprudence in the field of international transport. The comparison between international and regional regimes reveals the complexities in application and interpretation of the certain transport conventions which is detrimental to achieving uniformity.
