THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A CARRIER OF GOODS BY SEA UNDER THE LAWS OF THE ARABIAN GULF STATES: " THE EXCEPTIONS AND THE RULE " Richard Price* This short paper deals with the I.ms an?f practices of thc Arabian Gulf Staces--that is the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qaitar and Kuwaii-regarding the responsibilities of a Carrier of goods by sea for loss or damage thereof.
