“Are the implied duties on a carrier relevant or too high of a threshold?”
- They are too high and that needs to be reformed.
- It is important to look at what Lord Blackburn said in Steel v State Line Steamship Co [1877] 3 AC 72 and use this as a core case in the body of the abstract and for the reform.
- Finding sources that support the reform and can use a max of 12-14 sources tops.
- Finding a good reform.
- The abstract example is a good display of how it should look but not copied at all.
- This is also a good structure to follow:
Intro:
- What is carriage of goods by sea
- Talk about the carriers and notions of a carrier
- Buyers and Sellers
- What the carrier is and how it works
- Talk about the implied duties (three points that sit on the carrier)
- Implied duties that come from the common law
Body:
- Talk about the case of Steel v State Line Steamship Co and talk about the test (the implied terms) and compare them with another relevant case.
Conclusion:
- The idea of a reform and explanation as seen in the abstract sample.
