Abstract

This article explores the relationship between New Zealand's no-fault accident compensation scheme and maritime law, in particular international conventions limiting liability in the event of personal injury claims. New Zealand's position is analyzed in relation to both the Convention for Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976 and the International Convention for the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea 1974 (the Athens Convention).

Keywords: personal injury, liability, maritime, accident compensation, Athens Convention
