The “Maersk Tangier” – The Court of Appeal Rules on Package Limitation under the Hague-Visby Rules
Background
The English Court of Appeal last week handed down a significant judgement in relation to package limitation and what constitutes a “unit” for the purpose of limitation under the Hague-Visby Rules in containerised cargoes. The Court’s decision also clarifies the law in the application of the Hague-Visby Rules in circumstances where a Waybill is issued under a contract of carriage that contemplates shipper’s express or implied right to demand the issue of a bill of lading but where such right is not exercised.
