The decision is a useful reminder that a mortgagee will need to consider more than its own interests in such a situation.

  • Bill of Lading—Pivotal to the International Sale Transaction
    Mohammad Abdur Razzak: “Bill of Lading: A Pivotal Document in International Sale Transactions” published by Bangladesh Bar Council in its law journal titled “Bangladesh Legal Decision” (BLD) in November Volume, 2005, Pp 29-44. 1 BILL OF LADING: A PIVOTAL DOCUMENT IN INTERNATIONAL SALE TRANSACTIONS Mohammad Abdur Razzak LL.B & LL.M: University of Dhaka; LL.M: Nottingham University, UK Advocate Supreme Court of Bangladesh (High Court Division) 1. Introduction:1 “Sale of goods” is a common phenomenon in modem world. This transaction may take place among the merchants trading within the territory of a country. The contract of sale of goods may also be concluded between two or more persons carrying on their trade in different countries governed by different legal systems which involves cross border movement of goods. In sale transactions of the latter kind, which is called “contract of international sale of goods”,2 a question invariably posed as to how the seller will accomplish his obligation to deliver the stipulated goods to the buyer beyond his country. Usually, the parties at the very outset settle whether the goods will move by water ways, air ways or by road or by a combination thereof. The water ways being less costly and widely spread out reaching the remote corners of the earth majority of the sale transactions are effected over water ways by sea going vessels. At this stage, the parties to a sale transaction get involved in contract of afreightment in order to obtain the service of a sea going vessel for onward transmission of the goods.3 The contract of afreightment may either be in the form of charterparty4 or in the form of bill of lading.

  • A Study of American Merchant Marine Legislation Clarence G
    A STUDY OF AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE LEGISLATION CLARENCE G. MORSE* The main body of our national merchant marine legislation is found in the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended.' However, that Act was preceded by other acts, some of whose provisions are still in effect as important parts of our merchant marine policy. THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAI-TE SHIPPING AcT OF 1916, AS AM'[NDD The Shipping Act of 1916,2 was designed to secure an American merchant marine which would be adequate for the needs of our national defense and our commerce, and to regulate competitive practices in ocean shipping for the protection of shippers, importers, exporters, carriers, and the public. The United States Shipping Board set up by the Act was authorized, with the approval of the President,' to have constructed and equipped in American shipyards and navy yards or elsewhere, giving preference, other things being equal, to domestic yards, or to purchase, lease, or charter, vessels suitable, as far as the commercial requirements of the marine trade of the United States may permit, for use as naval auxiliaries or Army transports, or for other naval or military purposes, and to make necessary repairs on and alterations of such vessels. The Board was further authorized, if unable to charter, lease, or sell to American citi- zens these and other vessels acquired by it, to form a corporation "for the purchase, construction, equipment, lease, charter, maintenance, and operation of merchant ves- 4 sels in the commerce of the United States."1 Another important feature of the Shipping Act of 1916 is its regulatory pro- visions, 5 which are operative today and are exercised by the Federal Maritime Board.

  • Article 9 and Security Interests in Instruments, Documents of Title and Goods EUGENE H
    Article 9 and Security Interests In Instruments, Documents of Title and Goods EUGENE H. FREEDHmI* A-zm EI GOLDSTON** INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS A previous paper has compared the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (hereinafter called the "Code") with existing Ohio law relating to security interests in accounts, contract rights, and chattel paper.1 This paper continues the com- parison with respect to (a) the remaining two subclassifications of intangible personal property (i.e., "documents of title" and "instru- ments") and (b) tangible personal property (called "goods" by the Code and subclassified into "inventory," "equipment," "consumer goods" and "farm products"). The reader is referred to the previous paper for an introduction to Article 9 and a discussion of its major policies; this paper will be concerned with detail rather than with perspective. The Code in § 1-201 (15) defines "document of title" as includ- ing a "bill of lading, dock warrant, dock receipt, warehouse receipt or order for the delivery of goods, and also any other document which in the current course of business or financing is treated as adequately evidencing that the person in possession of it is entitled to receive, hold and dispose of the document and the goods it covers. To be a document of title a document must purport to be issued by or addressed to a bailee and purport to cover goods in the bailee's possession which are either identified or are fungible por- tions of an identified mass." This is substantially the same defini- tion used in the Uniform Sales Act and in Omo REV.
