In summary, onboard shops and stores on cruise ships typically follow the laws of the ship's flag state, but U.S. laws apply when the ship is within U.S. territorial waters or under specific international agreements.
Sales on cruise ships are primarily regulated by the laws of the... View More 
Have brain injury from Tylenol
answered on Nov 9, 2024
I'm sorry about your brain injury. I'm not certain if this is an admiralty/maritime matter (a category chosen for the post). It looks more like product liability (injuries involving dangerous/defective products, including pharmaceutical drugs). There isn't very much detail to go by... View More

Changing your status from a U.S. citizen to a State National does not exempt you from the laws established by the federal government.

I was damaged by some Superior Court judges misconduct and fraud and I would like to file a claim against their official bonds and their owes of office but they will not inform me where to obtain them or or even provide me a copy when I write the court clerk / executive officer
answered on Oct 4, 2024
It is very unlikely you can obtain name of the surety (generally an insurance company that sells the bond to the principal (the judge.)) You can submit a request for information, but it will most likely be denied. If you have a viable case for judical misconduct and fraud you would file a claim... View More

DA has discretion on the criminal charge. So if he chooses a misdemeanor, that is his prerogative.

Your question might fall outside this forum, which deals largely with U.S. laws and courts. Someone who is familiar with the shipping laws of India would need to advise.

I wish to keep my natural rights, my status as a sentient being
answered on Aug 10, 2024
This doesn't appear related to "Admiralty/Maritime" law-related, one of the posted categories. It might be closer to sovereign citizen-based principles. In terms of maritime law, law firms that practice in that area would not be likely to be able to offer guidance on these concepts. Good luck
Someone saw the video and reported it to the cruise lines. And I was banned for life. Not for getting caught for smoking weed. Banned because of a video of me smoking onboard. Can I sue?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
They'll do that. The short answer is that cruise lines have a no-marijuana policy. It's possible the video was flagged as a violation of policies, and that it could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings if it appeared on social media or other public forums. Good luck
Hello, I was taking contaminated gummies and failed pre employment drug test. Please advise, I completed class and evaluation, Coast Guard took my credentials without any notifications.8
answered on Jul 6, 2024
It might be difficult to get guidance on this here - it's a narrow niche, even within the realm of maritime practitioners - most of whom don't work in this sector. There are some attorneys who handle Coast Guard credentialing and licensing issues involving Administrative Law Judges. You... View More

Unfortunately, we do not. This isn't a law firm or cargo loss recovery company. It is only a Q & A forum. You would need to reach out to law firms or other companies that handle such matters and pose your question to them. Good luck

An authorized agent has whatever powers the principal has given to the agent acting on his/her/its behalf. An agent has a fiduciary duty to act honestly in accordance with the principal's instructions in good faith with utmost loyalty to the principal and to refrain from self-dealing.
