Abstract
This book is divided into three parts: Part I - The ''ABC'' of Maritime Law''. This part begins with the explanation of the notion, purpose and historical development of maritime law. It continues with analyses of the new Maritime Code of the Republic of Slovenia, which entered into force on 2001. The Maritime Code regulates all areas of admiralty law, including law of the sea, safety at sea, registration of ships, liens and mortgages, contracts, liabilities, collisions, salvage, general average, conflict of laws, etc. Part II - ''How to Arrest a Ship''. The authors paid attention to the rules of the 1952 Arrest Convention (which is ratified by Slovenia) and of 1999 Arrest Convention. They particularly analyze internal Slovenian laws regulating ship arrest - the Maritime Code and the Enforcement and Security Act. The first is a lex specialis governing maritime matters, whereas the latter applies in proceedings which are not specifically concerned with ships but may be applied to ships under the general law. All important questions related to this topic are exhaustively elaborated, such as the court jurisdiction in arrest proceedings, claims for which arrest may be requested, ships which can be arrested, problem of providing a bail or security, wrongful arrest etc. Part III - ''Appendixes''. This part contains texts of international conventions and internal acts regulating arrest of ships. Various examples of arrest applications and court orders are also included. The book is written clearly and concisely. It is a valuable work in the field of maritime law. We recommend it to everyone who has a practical or academic interest in this important subject.
