The following is a definition of Carriage of Goods By Water Act (S.C. 1993, C. 21) (“Loi Sur Le Transport Des Marchandises Par Eau”), produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: The Canadian statute implementing the Hague/Visby Rules (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) (effective May 6, 1993). It also adopts the Hamburg Rules (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary), which could go into force at some future time, replacing the Hague/Visby Rules (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary). The Carriage of Goods by Water Act of 1993 was repealed and replaced by the Marine Liability Act, S.C. 2001, c. 6, (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) in force August 8, 2001, which also gave the force of law to the Hague/Visby Rules and provides for the eventual coming into force in Canada of the Hamburg Rules.
