By an Appellant’s Notice filed on 13 February 2024, the defendant appeals the Order, dated 31 January 2024 of Clare Ambrose sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge in the Commercial Court giving judgment against the Appellant following trial.
The appeal relates to the outcome of a trial of a claim relating to damage to a cargo of yellow soybeans which were loaded in apparent good order, but some of which was found to be damaged on discharge.
The Applicant Owner of the vessel admitted breach of their contractual duty under the bills of lading to take reasonable care of the cargo. However, they disputed that the Respondent had title to sue, and disputed the quantum of recoverable loss.
