Michael Volikas and David Richards, of Ince & Co, consider the recent UK Commercial Court judgment in The Limnos, on the meaning of the words 'goods lost or damaged' within art IV Rule 5(a) of the Hague-Visby Rules.
Article IV Rule 5(a) of the Hague-Visby Rules permits a carrier/ a ship to limit liability for 'any loss or damage to or in connection with the goods' carried to 2 SDR's per kilogram of gross weight of the 'goods lost or damaged'.
There has previously been no English Legal authority as to what precisely 'lost or damaged goods' refers. The type of uncertaintly that can be encountered when applying Hague-Visby weight limitation where only part of a cargo has been physically damaged in illustrated by The Limnos.
