In response to the statement that was made at the last session of the 1992 Fund Executive Committee by the Spanish delegation, the IG has drafted and submitted to the said Committee a paper whereby it comments on the Prestige Judgment issued by the Spanish Supreme Court on 14 January, and particularly, on its approach to the liability of the insurer and the Master.

The IG’s paper, which can be accessed here, will be discussed at today’s meeting of the Maritime Law Committee (International Chamber of Shipping) and also at the October 2016 meetings of the IOPC Funds’ governing bodies.
