Risk Allocation in Aviation Contracts

Risk Allocation in Aviation Contracts examines in detail the construction of indemnities, hold harmless, and waivers of liability clauses found in the contracts of air carriers with third parties.

The book will illustrate the following:

-What the clauses aim to achieve and what considerations guide the drafting philosophy of the parties involved with emphasis on the role of insurance;

-Current drafting practices, namely what kind of clauses are used in practice and what their limitations are;

-How English courts would construct such clauses, including the said exclusions and limitations;

-Does the current system of contractual allocations serve its purpose?

An edited collection featuring contributions from experts in the field, both solicitors and barristers, and from air carriers and service or aircraft providers, this book will be invaluable to all interested in this aspect of law and the drafting of aviation contracts.
