REPAIRED AND UNREPAIRED DAMAGE: A HISTORY OF JUDICIAL FAILURE? (OR HOW I LEARNED TO START WORRYING AND DISLIKE THE ?ion 69 POSITION)
The amount claimable by a shipowner from his insurers in respect of damage to his vessel is governed by ?ion 69 of the Marine Insurance Act, 1906. The author examines a number of cases involving claims for unrepaired damage and suggests that ?ion 69(1) is not limited to repairs effected during the currency of the cover. He concludes by offering a new clause to replace the current unrepaired damage clause.

THE OVERARCHING DUTY OF GOOD FAITH IN INSURANCE CONTRACTS: WHERE DOES THE BUCK STOP?
Dr Aleka Mandaraka-Sheppard Senior lecturer in law, Head of the shipping Law Unit,UCL, Founder member of the London Shipping Law Centre
Insurance litigation over the past 20 years has involved repeated examination of the scope and application of any post-contractual duty of good faith. The opdacity of the relevant principles is matched only by the stringency of the sanctions assigned. Recent clarification of aspects of these principles has been influenced by this stringency, particularly in the context of ?ion 17.

SAVING THE COMMON ADVENTURE
The author examines the interrelation of the York-Antwerp Rules and the statutory insurance background of the Marine Insurance Act of 1906. He argues that there needs to be a set of rules setting out what is recoverable in general average in a port of refuge and concludes that it is time to adopt a regime which removes doubt as to whether the shipowner's and cargo-owner's insurance cover properly complements whatever allowances are permissible in general average under the contractg of carriage.

ANTI-SUIT INJUNCTIONS - CURSE OR PRIVILEGE?
The author examines four categories of anti-suit injunctions, and concludes that the principle formulated by Lord Goff in Airbus v Patel should, with some exceptions, be capable of application uniformly to all cases. If English courts were less robust in granting anti-suit injunctions in breach of contract cases, judicial comity might operate reciprocally, so an anti-suit injunction might not be regarded as a curse.
