Is International Commercial Law?
INSTRUMENTS OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL HARMONISATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES: How ‘International’ is International Commercial Law? Submitted in respect of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia Law School 99,747 words Mary J. Wallace © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. ABSTRACT The object of this thesis was to establish whether a culture has developed in England and Wales towards international instruments of commercial harmonisation. In doing so, the thesis has examined the approach of five main institutions and groups, who represent the structures and mechanisms responsible for the functioning and on-going development of international commercial law, namely Universities; Practitioners; Cargo Owners, Freight Forwarder and Carriers; the Judiciary and Government / Parliament. The interaction of these institutions and groups with international commercial conventions, protocols and practices was analysed and the research has shown that although these institutions and groups generally display an outward sense of internationality, there is an underlying sense that international commercial laws are used as a means of better fitting English law to the transaction at hand, rather than as a means of applying another body of rules in preference to the governing national law. The research provides evidence that the approach of the institutions and groups to international commercial instruments is informed by complex and frequently inter-related factors, and that this generally results in a continued reliance on English law as the primary law for cross-border commercial transactions. -

Our little 4th Officer remains calm and efficient and when all have sorted themselves out, and stretched cramped limbs as much as possible, he orders the mast to be stepped and our huge red sail is unfurled and soon, under a grey sky, we are under sail. Biscuits are passed round and a ration of water (about 2oz each!). The SS Andalucia Star Poor old Doc has taken it badly. He is plucky, but not very cheerful and has lost his dentures in the bilges somewhere. A deck steward is the soul of wit and helpfulness and puts us all in a better mood. Visibility is poor and all around is – just sea. A murmur of excitement – yes! A ship, a destroyer bears down on us – I peer with thankful prayers in my heart – but, no! it is one of our own lifeboats, the lugger rigged sail somewhat resembling a ship’s bows!
