Going the Nordic Way, an Alternative to English Hegemony?

Brexit is scheduled to take place on 29 March 2019. It will probably have an immediate impact on dispute settlement. The Nordic countries have recently established their own maritime and offshore arbitration mechanism NOMA. There exist common Nordic marine insurance terms as well as freight forwarding conditions and the maritime and commercial laws are practically identical. The lecture will discuss some common ground of Nordic law and practice such as the role of gross negligence and insuring delay, and whether the Nordic approaches could set a viable alternative to the predominant English ones
