Biography

 

MICHAEL BUNDOCK is a member of the Marine and International Trade group at Stephenson Harwood.

...a comprehensive Handbook of the statutes, statutory instruments, international convention, arbitration rules and standard shipping documents most frequently (and generally) relied on in both the study and practice of contentious shipping law.

...the handbook includes an invaluable introduction for each part on the critical issues arising within the area of practice to which part relates, imparted from the author’s own extensive experience.

Whilst the book is firmly focused on practicality and is amed at legal and trade practitioners, it is also a useful source of reference for law students, who often lack an awareness of the ‘real’ shipping world in which the law they are studying is applied.

All in all, it provides a superb collection of the materials essential to the busy shipping practitioner’s life and which students coming to this area should be familiar.
