We have uploaded two new and important references, one for the Good Faith Principle I.1.1, the other for the Best Efforts Principle IV.6.5. Art. 27 of EU Regulation 2023/2854 of 13 December 2023 on harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 and Directive (EU) 2020/1828 (Data Act) contains a good faith obligation which is applicable in all EU Member States. Art. 8a of EU Regulation 833/2014 (as amended by Council Regulation (EU) 2024/1745 of 24 June 2024 contains a best efforts obligation which is likewise applicable throughout the EU.

The TransLex-Team has opened a new Section X. (Maritime Transport) in the TransLex-Principles. A new Principle No. 146 has been added to that Section. It relates to the issues of laytime, demurrage, detention and despatch in maritime transport. Admiralty law provides the most prominent and oldest example for the evolution of uniform practices and customs and the ensuing development of transnational legal principles ("Lex Maritima"). By its very nature, long-distance sea transport has always required its own "supra-territorial" rule-making based on the special routines, traditions and needs of masters, freighters, charterers, ship-owners and merchants involved in overseas trade; please read Part I.1.a. of the Introduction for more details. Two more principles (on General Average and Salvage) will follow soon.
