    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV393/2007

    The Court upheld the High Court's construction of the 15 June 2006 order: all reasonable expenses of sale, including hire and costs incurred before or after that order in moving and selling deteriorating cargo, are recoverable from the fund paid into court; whether the applicable hire was the head charter rate or the sub‑charter rate, the fund would be consumed and the judge correctly ordered release of the funds to the 1st defendant's solicitors and allocated costs as he did; the appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.
