Abstract
[Truncated] This dissertation deals with maritime liens in a conflict of laws situation, and more
particularly with the question of recognition and enforcement of foreign maritime liens in
Australia - informed by a preliminary study of the origins of maritime law and maritime
liens generally. It is about the maritime lien, "a nasty little beast who continues
to stalk the unwary" and the conflict of laws. In view of the vagaries of maritime liens and the
involute nature of conflict of laws, the discourse on this subject area is one of the most complex
in international maritime law and pract ice. One may say in Churchillian rhetoric that the
conflict of laws problem in maritime lien law is a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma".
