Transport Litigation
We have a wealth of experience gained over
many years acting on disputes in connection with passenger
transport activities. We have successfully resolved a large
number of complex disputes in the road, rail (heavy and light
rail), aviation and shipping sectors. SNR Denton has a team of
world-class transport litigators with the skills and experience to
meet all your requirements.
Our experience in the rail industry includes
contractual and negligence claims, health and safety issues,
breaches of competition law, insurance and financing
issues. We have advised clients on regulatory complaints and
enforcement proceedings. We are very familiar with the rail
regulatory framework and the complexities of operating in the rail
industry. On a number of occasions, we have advised on
liabilities, obligations and recovery following incidents on the
railway.
We have advised on the resolution by
professional determination and other means of numerous disputes
regarding design, build finance and operate (DBFO) contracts in
connection with roads projects. These disputes have raised a
wide range of issues including contractual interpretation,
responsibility for changes to standards, defects and scope, and
issues surrounding payment mechanisms.
We have also been involved in numerous
commercial disputes in the aviation and shipping sectors, including
regarding shipping charters and aircraft leases.
