Passing away of Monsieur Lionel Tricot

It is with deep sorrow that the Belgian Maritime Law Association announces the passing of Maître Lionel Tricot, its former president, at the age of 103. He was the oldest member of the Association, the longest-serving lawyer of the Antwerp Bar, and a titulary member of the CMI. A prominent figure in maritime law, Maître Tricot taught at the universities of Leuven and Antwerp and practiced law for over 70 years. His remarkable legacy includes delivering a memorable speech at the 125th anniversary celebration of the Belgian Maritime Law Association three years ago, where he spoke eloquently without notes.
