“Negotiorum Gestio” in Maritime Law
Note: There is more information on maritime/admiralty law here.
The following is a definition of “Negotiorum Gestio”, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: A civil law term, meaning management of the business of another. Under this principle, a party who voluntarily takes care of the affairs of another person, without any express or implied authority from that person, may claim reimbursement of his necessary and useful expenses, whether he has been successful or not. Negotiorum gestio is therefore the likely origin of the concept of salvage (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) in maritime law. See the French Civil Code, arts. 1372-1375; the Québec Civil Code, art. 1482-1490; Tetley, M.L.C., 2 Ed., 1998 at pp. 10 and 330; Int’l M. & A. L., 2003 at pp. 323-324.
