“GLOBAL SANTOSH” - Supreme Court overrules Court of Appeal in favour of charterers
United Kingdom July 6 2016 The Supreme Court recently handed down the long awaited decision in the "GLOBAL SANTOSH" case. By a majority of four to one (Lord Clarke dissenting), the Supreme Court allowed the appeal of the charterers (Cargill) and reversed the decision of the Court of Appeal, thereby reinstating the original arbitrators' decision of 2012. The Supreme Court held that the vessel was off hire throughout the period of an arrest by the sub-charterer, aimed at securing a claim against its counterparty (the buyers/receivers) under a sale contract, on the basis that an exception in the off hire clause did not apply. http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=ad2030f2-ab3c-42ac-bcb0-e32d19d8e309
