DANNI - KLAWSOLA " SHIPPED IN APPARENT GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION" - NUQQASIJIET FIL-MERKANZIJA - POLZA TA` KARIKU - TALLY SHEET

Il-klawsola "shipped in apparent good order and condition (unless) otherwise stated herein on boardthe above named vessel at or off the Port of Loading named above the goods described herein... and to be delivered in the like good order and condition" tistabbilixxi "prima facie" li l-prova li l-merkanzija msemmija fil-polza giet ikkarikata f'kondizzjoni tajba u timponi l-obbligu li l-merkanzija tigi skarikata fl-istess kondizzjoni tajba. Jekk ma tingieb ebda prova biex twaqqa' l-imsemmija presunzjoni mill-parti li trid twaqqaghha allura l-Qorti ghandha tikkonkludi li fil-fatt il-merkanzija deskritta fil-polza giet ikkarikata f'kondizzjoni tajba u ghandha tigi wkoll skarikata. Mill-provi rrizulta li l-merkanzija ma nizlitx mill-vapur kif kellha tinzel, cjoe' "in the like good order and condition". Il-Qorti ta' l-Appell ghalhekk ikkonfermat is-sentenza ta' l-ewwel Qorti li ghal dawn in-nuqqasijiet ghandu jwiegeb l-Agent tal-Vapur.
