Malta Flag Immunity

The French Supreme Court upheld Malta's immunity claim in a case involving an oil spill by a Malta-flagged tanker near the French coast. The French government sought to subject the Maltese government to its jurisdiction, apparently based on a theory of rogue flags not being entitled to immunity. The Times of Malta published a summary of the proceedings and issues.   -   by Clemens Kochinke, partner with Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP in Washington.
