- Case number
- HCCL27/2008
The court held that Ensign Freight Pte Ltd was the contractual carrier and that Clause 11.3 did not operate to limit the carrier's liability for delivery of the cargo without production of the original bill of lading; the limitation clause could not be construed to reduce the carrier's liability for that deliberate misdelivery and plaintiff was entitled to recover the full invoice value of US$283,093.70. The COECO point was unnecessary to decide.
