MARITIME LAW
Also referred to as “Admiralty Law,” this is the law of ships and shipping, including naviga-
tion and harbours and other matters related to shipping. In Canada this is an area of almost
exclusively federal jurisdiction by way of the Canada Shipping Act. Related topic: TRANSPOR-
TATION LAW.
MARITIME (DROIT)
Le droit maritime comporte des aspects de droit ADMINISTRATIF et de droit des TRANSPORTS.
Ce qui le rend complexe, c’est, d’une part, le partage des compétences fédérales (transport
interprovincial et international) et provinciales (transport local) et, d’autre part, le recours au
droit INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC. Le transport maritime international repose principalement sur
de grandes conventions internationales auxquelles le Canada a adhéré. Dans l’écosystème juri-
dique, on fera des nuances entre le droit de la mer, plus englobant (dont l’importante conven-
tion de 1982 sur le droit de la mer) et le droit maritime, plus près du droit des AFFAIRES.
