Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth insight into the history of the Admiralty Court of England. Beginning with how this court's origins are shrouded in historical obscurity, the author takes a scholarly approach, using existing evidence and referencing pertinent case law. Using the ancient ordinances of kings before them as building blocks, the author shows how the court grew over time to handle not just criminal cases but also civil cases. From the assertion that the king's admirals have jurisdiction over matters that concern the sea, the author establishes the Admiralty Court's authority in adjudicating maritime causes. Along with the court's growth, the author engagingly illustrates the conflict that occurred between it and common law courts as they competed for jurisdiction and authority. Regardless of this tension, the author demonstrates that the Admiralty Court endured, and its jurisdiction expanded significantly over time.
