José Miguel Oliveira, António Pestana Araújo and Hermenegildo Simão sign the chapter on Angola in the "Shipping 2024" guide, published by Chambers and Partners in the Chambers Global Practice Guides segment.
The "Shipping 2024" guide analyses maritime transport legislation and regulations in different jurisdictions, covering topics such as: port state control regime, marine casualties and owners' liability, cargo claims, maritime liens and ship arrests, passenger claims, ship-owners' income tax relief and the implications of environmental regulations, trade sanctions and international conflict.
In the chapter "Angola: Law and Practice", the lawyers begin by outlining the legal framework that establishes the powers and authority of the Maritime Court, namely the Code of Civil Procedure and Law No. 29/22, of 29 August 2022 ("Law 29/22"), "which establishes the principles and general rules for the organization and functioning of the courts of common jurisdiction". In this context, the lawyers add that "the most common maritime and shipping claims filed with the Maritime Court are related to collisions and disputes concerning cargo and maritime claims (ship arrests)”.
