"The second edition has, in my view, achieved the difficult task of surpassing the first edition in terms of scholarship and analytical discussion. It is also notable for a wide coverage of relevant authorities. It will become indispensable to lawyers, academicians and other persons interested in marine insurance, not only in the United Kingdom but throughout the commen law world."
"…this text (is) one that all in the field will find themselves constantly consulting in the years to come."
Judith Prakash,
Judge of the Supreme Court of SingaporeAlison Green, the Chairman of the Trustees of the BILA Charitable Trust said, as she awarded the BILA Book Prize to Francis:
“This textbook is a welcome addition to the texts on marine insurance law as it combines in one volume all the areas which a practitioner or student of marine insurance law needs to know. It is written in a very readable style, which makes it readily approachable for those unfamiliar with this topic. It combines an academic's insight into the law with a modern and practical approach to problems that frequently beset marine insurance. This book richly deserves to be the winner of the annual BILA book prize."
