An outline of transport law : international rules in Swedish context – hinnat ja saatavuus

I denna reviderade andra upplaga ges en modern översikt över hela den svenska transporträtten. Boken omfattar sjö-, järnvägs-, flyg- samt vägtransporter. Genomgående görs jämförelser mellan de olika transportsätten för att peka på både likheter och olikheter i den rättsliga regleringen. Syftet med framställningen är att beskriva de centrala frågeställningarna såsom olika avtalsformer, kontrakt, frakthandlingar och ansvarsfrågor rörande både transport av gods och passagerarbefordran. Det svenska regelverket bygger till stor del på internationella konventioner som tillsammans med nationell lagstiftning bildar det komplicerade mönster som utgör transporträtten. Boken är avsedd att användas på utbildningar i juridik, logistik och sjöfartsekonomi samt vänder sig till alla som arbetar med transporträtt. Svante O. Johansson är justitieråd i Högsta domstolen. The globalized world of today with intense trade between different parts of the world brings the importance of transports to the forefront. Therefore transport law has become more important. The book gives an introduction to modern transport law as it outlines the essentials of this complex legal area. The purpose of this book is to give an accessible guide to the central questions such as contracts, documents and liability in carriage of goods and in carriage of passengers. The composition is mainly based on international conventions. The Swedish statutory legislation is based on those international conventions. Together the different rules form a complicated pattern that form transport law. Throughout the book comparisons between rules for different modes of carriage – sea, railway, air and road – are made in order to point out similarities and differences in the legal patterns. The grandstand of the book’s audience are law students. However, the book is also meant to be used by students of logistics, economics and master mariners as well as it can be of use to those who deal with transport law in their day to day work. Svante O.
