Designed to be a practical reference source for anyone who is in any way involved with mutual insurance, it offers comprehensive guidance on the complex area of P&I Clubs.

New areas emphasised in the fourth edition include: - Piracy - Charterers' liability insurance - Defence Cover - Disputes concerning the Inter-Club Agreement - Enforceability of arbitration agreements in the Club's Rules. - The Club's obligation to (i) make direct payments under certificates, (ii) pay death/ personal injury claims in the event of a member's insolvency, and (iii) make indivisible personal injury claims.
