Lisbon rulesA set of rules on the assessment of damages in ship collisions (supra), prepared by the CMI and adopted at Lisbon in 1987. The Rules do not have the force of law, but are intended rather as guidelines for judges, arbitrators, insurers, average adjusters and others concerned with evaluating collision damages. They may also be chosen by the parties to a collision dispute, after it arises, to govern damage assessment.

Rules
English law. The rules of the King's Bench and Fleet are certain limits without the actual walls of the prisons, where the prisoner, on proper security previously given to the marshal of the king's bench, or warden of the fleet, may reside; those limits are considered, for all legal and practical purposes, as merely a further extension of the prison walls.
Assessment
The making out a list of property, and fixing its valuation or appraisement; it is also applied to making out a list of persons, and appraising their several occupations, chiefly with a view of taxing the said persons and their property.
Damages
A cash compensation ordered by a court to offset losses or suffering caused by another's fault or negligence. Damages are a typical request made of a court when persons sue for breach of contract or tort.

A rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society. The learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system.
