Stephen Kenny KC participated in an LSLC panel discussion exploring “Liens on sub-hires, redirection of bill of lading freight & liens on cargo: Shipowners’ self-help remedies” on Wednesday 22 October.
The Right Honourable Sir Julian Flaux, Chancellor of the High Court, chaired the event, and Stephen was joined on the panel by Thor Maalouf, Partner, Reed Smith and Mark Jones, Barrister, 36 Stone.
7KBW was delighted to sponsor the seminar.
Specific issues discussed:
- What are liens on sub-freights and sub-hires, when and how are they effective, and when are they ineffective?
- When and how can an owner of a chartered ship recover bill of lading freight from those liable for it? What is the effect in this connection of bills of lading being marked “freight pre-paid”?
- Will charterparty clauses providing for liens on cargoes always bind the consignee?
