Regulation of ship hypotheque in the Republic of Croatia

Predmet ovoga rada je cjelovita analiza pravnog uređenja hipoteke na brodu u RH. Naglašavaju se novine koje u tom kontekstu donosi novi Pomorski zakonik iz 2004. godine u odnosu na rješenja Pomorskog zakonika iz 1994. Proučavaju se i odredbe relevantnih općih zakonskih propisa te međusobni odnos svih izvora prava. Uspoređuju se recentna rješenja našeg prava s inozemnim propisima i sudskom praksom.This paper represents an analysis of the Croatian law regulating the institute of ship hypotheque. In this context the author points out changes in national law which are introduced by new 2004 Croatian Maritime Code (2004 MC). The most important innovation - creditor\u27s power concerning private sale of the mortgaged ship - is particularly elaborated. Relevant rules of the 2004 MC are also comparing with foreign laws and judical practice
