- What is a clause paramount?
- A clause paramount is essentially a clause that incorporates a cargo liability regime, usually the Hague or Hague-Visby Rules (the Rules), into the subject charter. Such clauses are necessary as, under English law at least, the Rules are not compulsorily applicable to charterparties. So, where the Rules do not apply compulsorily, sufficiently clear words of incorporation are needed. See, for example, Clause 24 of the NYPE 1946 form, which reads as follows:
‘ It is further subject to the following clauses... the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act of the United States, approved April 16, 1936, which shall be deemed to be incorporated herein...’
