FIMBank plc v KCH Shipping Co Ltd (The Giant Ace) [2023] EWCA Civ 569

One-year time limit under the Hague-Visby Rules to misdelivery claims

The appeal arose from a London maritime tribunal's award, which held that the one-year time limit applied to claims of misdelivery. The trial judge agreed and dismissed the bills of lading holder's appeal, but gave permission for a further appeal to the appellate court.
