P&I (CLASS 3) / PART IV / RULE 29
BYELAWS
29.1 Power to Pass Byelaws
The Board shall have power to pass byelaws ordering and prescribing the conditions and/or the form of contracts of carriage generally, or for use in any particular trade, or for any particular port or place.
29.2 Recommendations
The Board may also recommend the use of any particular form of contract of carriage in any particular trade. Members whose Ships are engaged in such trades shall endeavour to use the appropriate form of contract of carriage when the circumstances of the fixture or engagement of such Ships permit.
29.3 Notice
Notice shall be sent by the Managers to all Members upon the passing of any such byelaw or issue of such recommendation. The byelaw or recommendation shall come into operation on the date stated in the notice and shall thereupon be assumed to be incorporated in these Rules and shall be included in, or with, every copy of these Rules issued by the Association as soon as may be conveniently possible. If a Member shall commit a breach of such byelaw the Board (or, in the case of claims not exceeding USD2,000,000, the Committee) may reject or reduce any claim made by the Member to the extent to which it would not have arisen if the Member had complied with the byelaw and the burden of proving in each case that the claim (or portion thereof) could not have been avoided by such a compliance shall be on the Member. The Board (or, in the case of claims not exceeding USD2,000,000, the Committee) may further impose such terms upon the Member as it may think fit as a condition of the continuance of the entry of the Member’s Ship or Ships in this Class.
