A judgment handed down in the English High Court on 7 October 2024 in the case of Stournaras Stylianos Monoprosopi EPE v. Maersk A/S (MV Maersk Klaipeda) serves as a valuable reminder of parties’ rights and obligations under bills of lading. The case outlines the extent to which carriers are required to check information contained on bills of lading and explains when a carrier will be liable to a consignee when it is discovered that the carrier’s bills contain incorrect information.
