As the legal issues become more technical and complex, there has been a continuing effort to retain the focus of the original book as a readable, useful reference for people in the transportation industry and a teaching aid for those who are looking for initiation into this relatively obscure area of the transport law. There is also an extensive discussion of actual court decisions and their underlying fact patterns that will give the readers useful information to help them understand and solve day-to-day freight claims problems.
