Summerskill on Laytime, a renowned and established title in this specialized field, delves into the intricate aspects of laytime and demurrage under English law. This invaluable resource is tailored for practitioners in the industry, offering a comprehensive exploration of the principles governing laytime, the standard clauses employed, interruptions, suspensions, demurrage, detention, and dispatch. The seventh edition of this title has been meticulously revised to incorporate the latest developments in case law, reflecting significant rulings such as the Court of Appeal decisions in Limbungan v Classic Maritime and K Line v Priminds (The Eternal Bliss).

In The Aconcagua Bay, a notable decision, the "always accessible" clause has been interpreted to encompass both leaving and entering a berth, a departure from the previous interpretation established by the London Arbitration Tribunal in 11/97. This ruling has significant implications for the interpretation and application of laytime and demurrage provisions in shipping contracts.

Summerskill on Laytime is an indispensable tool for legal professionals, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the complex rules and regulations governing laytime and demurrage in the English legal system. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer to this field, this title offers valuable insights and practical guidance to ensure effective navigation and resolution of laytime-related disputes.
