Saira Paruk, Caleb Kirton, Michael Nguyen-Kim & Paul Best discuss the common limitation issues in shipping and how to manage them.

The seminar will be in three parts, addressing:

• Notice-of-claim
• Time-bar provisions
• Instances of conflicting time-bar terms

Each part will give an overview of typical examples, summarise how the law generally interprets these clauses or resolves conflicts between them and highlight practical takeaways from decided cases (including The Alion [2025] EWHC 368 (Comm)).
