The following is a definition of Lisbon Rules 1987, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: [Translation of Lisbon Rules 1987 in French: “Règles de Lisbonne 1987”] [Translation of Lisbon Rules 1987 in Spanish: “Reglas de Lisboa 1987”] [Translation of Lisbon Rules 1987 in Italian: “Regole di Lisbona 1987”] [Translation of Lisbon Rules 1987 in German: “Lissabonner Regeln 1987”] – A set of rules on the assessment of damages in ship collisions (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary), prepared by the CMI and adopted at Lisbon in 1987. The Rules do not have the force of law, but are intended rather as guidelines for judges, arbitrators, insurers, average adjusters and others concerned with evaluating collision damages. They may also be chosen by the parties to a collision dispute, after it arises, to govern damage assessment. See text at (1987) 18 JMLC 577-582, with commentary by J. Warot at pp. 583-587. See also Tetley, Int’l. M. & A. L., 2003 at p. 259.
