UFL CHARTERS LIMITED v THE SHIP "NO. 203 MELILLA" [2015] NZHC 794
- Citation

- Court
- High Court
The claim falls within s 4(1)(h) of the Admiralty Act 1973 because it arises out of charter fishing agreements relating to the use of the vessel; the vessel was owned by Tae Jin when proceedings were filed; the first defendant was served, filed no defence, and the plaintiff established an undisputed entitlement to the claimed principal, contractual interest and costs, therefore default judgment is appropriate.
