해상보험계약에서는 실무상 영국법 준거약관을 포함하고 있는 영국의 해상보험증권 및 협회약관을 사용하고 있으며, 이에 따라 관련문제가 발생하면 영국법 및 우리나라 법이 적용되게 된다. 이 경우 영국법은 외국법법률설에 따라 영국법도 법률이므로 법원은 직권으로 영국법을 조사하여 적용하여야 한다. 영국법이 적용되는 경우 영국법상 법률개념을 어떻게 이해하고 확정하여야 할 것인지가 문제가 되며, 따라서 그러한 법률개념은 영국에서 이루어졌던 논의 및 영국법 질서 전체와 관련하여 해석하고 확정되어야 한다.

In the Bill of Lading of The Irbenskiy Proliv is not subject to the Hague-Visby Rules in accordance with paragraphs (A) and/or (E) of cl.1 or to the Hague Rules in accordance with paragraphs (B) and/or (D) of cl.1. The Irbenskiy Proliv is very rare case that is effective to exempt the carrier as literal words of Bill of Lading. The action concerns cargoes of perishable goods shipped from Brazil to Japan, under Bills of Lading each of which contained an extensive carrier's exemption clause. A preliminary issue was ordered to be determined on the question whether c1.4 is effective to exempt the ralliers from any potential liability for the claims in this case. The court held that there is no reason to reject c1.4 as part of each of the contracts contained in or evidenced by the bills of lading; and it protects the carrier where damage to the goods shipped results from such causes. It is therefore effective to exempt the carriers from any potential liability for those claims.
