Relaunch of HAL Website
14th February 2008
Welcome to the latest incarnation of our website - we hope that you will find our ‘new look’ attractive and the contents informative and useful. We would welcome your comments.
A really useful website
14th February 2008
Fortunes De Mer was established to promote Maritime Law and, in particular, Marine Insurance Law. It is run from Le Havre by Gael and Valerie Pinson. The site contains a wealth of information and documentation. Need a copy of the Indonesian Hull form of 1970 or the Institute Time Clauses 1/10/64? You will find it here together with, of course, all the more modern forms of marine insurance clauses, rules of practice and more. In fact, everything you always wanted to know about marine insurance but were too afraid to ask. Highly recommended.

AAA Market Seminar - 19th March 2008
6th March 2008
Disputes concerning the intent of coverage and the interpretation of the language of marine and energy insurance policies are becoming more prevalent. Many of these disputes might have been avoided had more care been exercised in drafting the wording of the policy. Michael Harvey will explore the pitfalls of poor policy drafting from the perspective of the claims practitioner and suggest how matters might be improved. Tim Taylor of Barlow, Lyde & Gilbert will examine some of the legal issues concerning intent and policy construction and interpretation.
The seminar will start at 13:00 on Wednesday 19th March 2008 and is being held at Balls Brothers Minster Pavement, Mincing Lane, EC3R 7PP.
