In addition, an introduction to the economic analysis of law has been presented in order to show how liability concept is examined by this particular discipline and in what ways such study contribute to the discussion on the effect of limitation of liability within the context of the thesis. The emphasis has been on the examination of justification of the proponents and antagonists on the limitation of liability for maritime claims. (Less)
