- FAMV66/2007
Leave to appeal was granted because three questions of great general or public importance arise: (1) carrier liability for delivery to a named consignee under a straight bill without production of the bill; (2) the efficacy of an exemption clause excluding liability for delivery without production; and (3) the construction of the before-and-after clause, including the meaning of 'discharge' and possible application of per-package limitation provisions.
