Más información sobre el libro

The 2004 update to the York-Antwerp Rules aimed to modernize general average practices but faced significant backlash for its complexity and changes in terminology. Critics argued that the revisions introduced ambiguities, leading to confusion among stakeholders. Many organizations rejected the update in favor of the pre-2004 versions, underscoring the necessity for clear communication and user input in the revision of established frameworks. This controversy reflects the challenges of adapting maritime law to contemporary needs while maintaining clarity and usability.
