A substantial proportion of all domestic aviation accidents and
fatalities that occur each year involve general aviation (GA),
which includes all aviation except commercial and military. Under
federal law, the Secretary of Transportation is responsible for
ensuring that commercial air carriers carry liability insurance.
However, no such federal requirements exist for GA aircraft owners.
In some cases, accidents involving uninsured or underinsured GA
aircraft owners have occurred where individuals (passengers or
third parties) who incurred losses received little or no
compensation. This book examines existing liability insurance
requirements for GA aircraft owners; premiums for GA liability
insurance; and factors that selected stakeholders cited which
should be considered in determining whether to adopt a federal
liability insurance requirement. Furthermore, this book discusses
the characteristics of and trends in general aviation accidents
from 1999 through 2011; and recent actions taken by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve general aviation safety.

Vessels very frequently serve under a long chain of charterparties
and sub-charterparties. When this is the case, the legal issues are
more convoluted than they might at first seem. Incorporation
clauses are commonplace in bills of lading used in the tramp trade
due to the desire to make this web of contracts back-to-back. The
extent to which the terms of the charterparty referred to can be
carried across to the bill of lading has, over the centuries, been
hotly disputed in many jurisdictions. Entirely dedicated to the
topic of the incorporation of charterparty terms into bills of
lading, this book discusses and analyses the legal and practical
issues surrounding this topic under English and US law. Through
discussions on the incorporation of a wide range of different
charterparty terms, the book combines the peculiar and
sophisticated rules of incorporation with the legal and practical
issues concerning shipping, international trade, arbitration and
conflict of laws and jurisdiction.
A general overview of the Laws governing the process a creditor
must follow during the collection process.
Skilled workers of the early nineteenth century enjoyed a degree of
professional independence because workplace knowledge and technical
skill were their ""property,"" or at least their attribute. In most
sectors of today's economy, however, it is a foundational and
widely accepted truth that businesses retain legal ownership of
employee-generated intellectual property. In Working Knowledge,
Catherine Fisk chronicles the legal and social transformations that
led to the transfer of ownership of employee innovation from labor
to management. This deeply contested development was won at the
expense of workers' entrepreneurial independence and ultimately,
Fisk argues, economic democracy. By reviewing judicial decisions
and legal scholarship on all aspects of employee-generated
intellectual property and combing the archives of major
nineteenth-century intellectual property-producing
companies--including DuPont, Rand McNally, and the American Tobacco
Company--Fisk makes a highly technical area of law accessible to
general readers while also addressing scholarly deficiencies in the
histories of labor, intellectual property, and the business of
technology.

Internet gaming sparks controversy from corporate board rooms to
legislative hallways. Unlike traditional casinos, the Internet
permits people to engage in gaming activities from virtually
anywhere over computers and mobile devices. Governments and policy
makers looking at this activity struggle with such questions as
whether regulation can assure that Internet gaming can be
restricted to adults, the games offered are fair and honest, and
players will be paid if they win. This book is a timely collection
of eleven chapters discussing key considerations and model
approaches to internet gaming regulation and outlining the
important questions and emerging answers to regulating gaming
activity outside of land-based casinos. Some of the regulatory
insights are taken from lessons learned in the land-based casino
industry and others from the relatively newer experiences of
international internet gaming providers. Contributors are among the
world's leading experts on Internet gaming. They focus on
structural concerns including record-keeping, managing different
taxing regimes, maintaining effective controls, protecting customer
funds, and preventing money laundering, as well as on policy
concerns ensuring responsible play, the detection of fraud,
reliable age verification, and the enforcement of gaming laws and
norms across jurisdictions. Internet gaming is an emerging field,
especially in the U.S., and the contributors to this book provide
regulatory examples and lessons that will be helpful to lawyers,
policy makers, gaming operators and others interested in this
burgeoning industry. Chapters include: 1 Licensing by Anthony Cabot
2 Accounting, Audits, and Recordkeeping by Peter J. Kulick 3
Taxation of Regulated Internet Gambling by Sanford I. Millar 4
Technical Compliance by Richard Williamson 5 The Protection Of
Customer Funds by Nick Nocton 6 Financial Transactions and Money
Laundering by Stuart Hoegner 7 Internet Gambling Advertising Best

Catania, Sr., Gary Ehrlich, and Antonia Cowan 9 Ensuring Internet
Gaming that is Free from Fraud and Cheating by Alan Littler 10 Age

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs and activities are
funded under four broad budget accounts: operations and maintenance
(such as air traffic control and aviation safety functions);
facilities and equipment (such as control towers and navigation
beacons); grants for airport improvements under the airports
improvement program (AIP); and civil aviation research and
development conducted by the Department of Transportation (DOT),
including the Essential Air Service Program that subsidises airline
service to certain small and isolated communities. These programs
are funded primarily through a special trust fund, the Airport and
Airways Trust Fund (AATF), and in part, through general fund
contributions. This book provides an overview of the FAA and DOT
civil aviation programs addressed in the FAA Modernization and
Reform Act of 2012, enacted on February 14, 2012, which authorises
AATF taxes and revenue collections and civil aviation program
expenditures through fiscal year 2015.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the Institute of Maritime Law at
Southampton University, current and former maritime law researchers
came together to discuss the evolution of this fascinating area of
law in the last 30 years and to stimulate discussion on its
possible future. Their papers, edited by Professor Malcolm Clarke
under the title Maritime Law Evolving, provide a series of
thought-provoking essays on the most controversial and topical
issues which have occupied maritime law researchers in the last
three decades and which will continue to be at the heart of this
ever-evolving discipline in the foreseeable future. The resulting
work cuts across disciplines, spanning developments in areas as
diverse as the management of the oceans and the evolution of the
carriage and insurance sides of shipping law, including the ever-
increasing influence of the European legislator in matters of
conflict of laws and enforcement.
Most commercial contracts contain exclusion clauses and
indemnities. Much effort is spent negotiating them, and yet they
are often poorly understood. This book provides a practical guide
to approaching these clauses so as to ensure your interests are
best protected. The importance of each clause is highlighted along
with helpful tips drawn from the long experience of the authors in
drafting, negotiating and interpreting commercial contracts in
their everyday practice.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a critically important
statute for combating corruption around the globe. Corruption has
corrosive effects on democratic institutions, undermining public
accountability and diverting public resources from important
priorities such as health, education, and infrastructure. When
business is won or lost based on how much a company is willing to
pay in bribes rather than on the quality of its products and
services, law-abiding companies are placed at a competitive
disadvantage, and consumers lose. This book addresses a wide
variety of topics, including who and what is covered by the FCPA's
anti-bribery and accounting provisions; the definition of a
"foreign official", what constitutes proper and improper gifts;
travel and entertainment expenses; the nature of facilitating
payments; how successor liability applies in the mergers and
acquisitions context; the hallmarks of an effective corporate
compliance program; and the different types of civil and criminal
resolutions available in the FCPA context.
Digital and Internet protocol technologies have spawned a number of
online video distributors (OVDs) whose "over-the-top" video
services are in some ways akin to, and in some ways different from,
traditional cable and satellite video programming distribution
services. However, most of the statutory and regulatory framework
for video predates the commercial Internet and was developed within
a policy debate that could not consider digital technology and
online services. As a result, many statutory provisions apply only
to cable companies or satellite carriers, or only to "multichannel
video programming distributors" (MVPDs)-- a category that includes
cable and satellite operators, but as currently interpreted by the
Federal Communications Commission(FCC) excludes online video
distributors. This book explores the legal and regulatory issues
and challenges of online video distributors today, with a
re-examination of the Cable Act of 1992.
Every commercial transaction involves risk. Negotiating the terms
of a contract that gives effect to a transaction provides an
opportunity to transfer that risk to someone else through the use
of common drafting mechanisms including warranties, indemnities,
exclusion clauses and insurance clauses. This book provides a
practical guide to approaching these clauses so as to ensure your
interests are best protected. The importance of each clause is
highlighted along with helpful tips drawn from the long experience
of the authors in drafting, negotiating and interpreting commercial
contracts in their everyday practice.
