Joint & several liability
Join Tom Irving and Matthew Offers as they discuss joint and several liability. In many countries ship agents and, in some cases ship managers, can find themselves involved in claims as a result of their joint and several liability with their principal, be that the ship owner or charterer. This liability arises as a result of either local law or port statute (statutory liabilities). Tom and Matthew draw on their years of experience to discuss recent cases and ways to avoid this.
