4 Cape Town Convention J. 1 (2015)

handle is hein.journals/captowjo4 and id is 1 raw text is: Cape Town ConventionJournal, 2015 Vol. 4, No. 1, 1-2, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/2049761X.2015.1104844 Editorial Jeffrey Wool Universities of Washington and Oxford - G Rafal Zakrzewski University of Cambridge - Editor This past year has witnessed major develop- ments in all aspects of the Cape Town Convention ('CTC') system, starting with several additional ratifications. The United Kingdom, Australia and others have become party to the treaty. That, in turn, has added to the momentum for other ratifications, including several in Europe expected over the coming period. Important legal cases have been decided, both on substantive issues (the Spicejet litigation in India) and those invol- ving the International Registry (the Belair liti- gation in Ireland). The International Registry has launched a revolutionary re-design, the 'closing room', which replicates, in electronic terms, the dynamics of a transaction closing and provides the frame for registrations. That will undoubtedly be the starting point in the development of many future registration systems for secured (and other) transactions. Finally, a fundamental revision to the Prac- titioners' Guide was released, which with the Official Commentary belongs in the centre of any detail-oriented Cape Town Conven- tion library. All of the foregoing may be found on the increasingly comprehensive website of the Cape Town Convention Academic Project (the 'Project'), www.ctcap.orgwww.ctcap.org, a joint undertaking between the University of Oxford Faculty of Law and the University of Washington School of Law. eneral Editor The fourth issue of Cape Town Convention Journal (the 'CTC Journal') adds to the corpus of important treaty materials. In line with the focus of the CTC Journal - to provide in- depth, qualitative analysis of important, dfficult or complex topics under the Convention and its various Protocols - this issue covers these CTC items: legal opinions, standards and prac- tices (P Durham and K Basch); the interaction between remedies and local procedural law (D Gray, J MacIntyre, and J Wool); public and private features of the treaty (L Weber); basic features of the protocol on mining, agriculture and construction equipment which is under development (H Gabriel, and a comment thereon by C Mooney Jr); international sanc- tions on the International Registry (D Fennelly); and the treaty's relationship with the Geneva Convention of 1948 (D Hanley). For complete- ness, this issue continues the practice of includ- ing an article on depositary related matters by the UNIDROIT Secretariat, including a status report on ratifications and accessions and sum- maries of declarations made. Reflecting the spirit of openness animating the Project, this Journal continues to be available in electronic form at no cost. (A printed hard copy may be ordered.) As was the case in prior years, the papers and topics in the CTCJournal were the subject of a conference held in Oxford under the auspices of the Project.
