International Bar Association Section on Business Law

(b) Aeronautical Law:

Chairman, Dean Booth,

In 1970 the Council of the International Bar Associ- ation, which is a non-political Federation of Bar Associations and Law Societies, decided to establish a Section on Business Law. The IBA itself now has 65 member organisations from 49 countries and 2,800 indi- vidual lawyers actively participating in its work as patrons and subscribers. Of these, over one-third have already joined the Section on Business Law. The Section was formed to provide a direct link between the many lawyers throughout the world con- cerned with the legal problems arising from inter- national trade and business of all kinds. It offers the opportunity of discussing common problems verbally and by correspondence and of making personal con- tacts and in finding correspondents amongst lawyers from all over the world having similar interests. Mem- bership is open to all IBA patrons and subscribers on payment of an additional US $10. The work of the Section is divided between the 20 committees listed below and members may participate in the work of as many committees as they wish upon payment of an additional US $10 per committee for the second and any subsequent committee. Much of the work of the committees, which is decided upon by the committee chairman in consultation with his mem- bers, is undertaken by correspondence, but periodic meetings are also held. All committees met during the IBA Monte Carlo Conference in September 1972 and plans are being made for them to meet again in London in November 1973. The section publishes its own Journal bi-annually which contains reports of the work of each committee and contributed articles from experts in fields of busi- ness law. During 1973 a directory listing the names, addresses and committee membership of all members of the Section will be sent to all Section members. The directory will be revised at regular intervals in order to keep it up-to-date. The Officers and Council of the Section for 1973 are as follows : Chairman, George C. Seward (USA). Vice-Chairman, Colin McFadyean (England). Secretary, Jacques Lassier (France). The present committees and their chairmen and vice-chairmen are as follows : (a) Admiralty and Maritime Law : Chairman, Lennart Hagberg, Gothenberg, Sweden; Vice-Chairman, L.
