The bill of lading has been the subject of numerous articles, dissertations, and textbooks over the years, and this is hardly surprising. The bill of lading has a fascinating history, it has several functions with roots in both contract and property law, and its issuance may trigger the application of an international convention on the carriage of goods by sea, the Hague–Visby Rules. Whereas most books on the subject deal with the bill of lading in general, this book zooms in on the straight bill of lading and covers the differences (and similarities) with a negotiable (order or bearer) bill of lading.

Reviews for The Straight Bill of Lading

This is a scholarly and well-researched examination of an important carriage and trading document, which also contains much useful discussion on negotiable bills of lading. It could almost be said to be the last word on straight bills. Professor Simon Baughen School of Law, Swansea University
