Andrew Webb and Alexandra Dernie provide the Isle of Man contribution to Sweet & Maxwell's global guide, Aircraft Liens and Detention Rights.
Aircraft Liens and Detention Rights covers the rights of third parties to seize and detain aircraft until unpaid debts are met or if aviation law has been infringed. The contribution, co-authored by Andrew Webb and Alexandra Dernie, provides an account of liens under the common law, contract and statute in the Isle of Man. The impact of the Cape Town Convention is considered along with the limited application of Eurocontrol rights of detention and sale for navigation charges.
