Nevertheless, the law has developed to recognise two well-defined categories of charterparty to a degree where it is now difficult or even impossible to depart from that framework. There is recognition in literature that the time or voyage charterparty paradigm is not immutable; but courts, when offered the opportunity to recognise the sui generis character of a particular charterparty, have consistently declined to do so, reverting instead to the safe paradigm. This chapter considers the evidence for and against the existence of hybrid charterparties in practice, and concludes that the categories developed through practice have become so firm as to be immutable.","PeriodicalId":351662,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Maritime Law and Regulation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133857738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the advantages of such a system is that by increasing legal certainty, it encourages the development of international trade. Adopting a set of uniform rules proves ineffective, however, if the courts hearing cases in the different countries that are party to these conventions do not apply these rules uniformly.4 And yet, we can all cite several examples of divergent applications of international conventions. The field of transport is not immune to these discrepancies and there are many examples of divergent interpretations of international transport conventions, some of which are likely to undermine the convention’s goal of uniformity.5 The benefits of uniform interpretation are the same as those of uniform law: applying the same rule all over the world when more than one legal system is involved leads to such legal certainty that the benefits do not even seem to be discussed anymore.6 As regards the purpose of international private law conventions (that is, to apply the same rule in different countries), divergent interpretations or applications of a convention can","PeriodicalId":351662,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Maritime Law and Regulation","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121042750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
