Sažetak
General professional liability contractual and non-contractual rules, developed in the second half of the 20th century, dictate that a service provider is responsible to exhibit a certain level or standard of care while rendering a particular service, and that a breach of that duty may lead to responsibility and liability to compensate the damage arising out of poor performance or non-performance. However, existing international salvage regulation provides a limited remedy to the salvee, stipulating the forfeiture of the salvage award as an ultimate sanction. In addition, a long line of judicial policy of leniency towards salvors questions the full applicability of general liability rules in salvage matters. On the other hand, the international legislation concerning the issue of limitation of liability stipulates a number of particular provisions applicable in situations when a salvor is potentially exposed to liability, allowing the salvors to utilize a right to limit the scope of financial liability when performing below the expected standard of performance.
