CLEAN BILL OF LADING - DANNI - KLAWSOLA "SHIPPED IN APPARENT GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION" - MERKANZIJA - POLZA TAL-KARIGU - RESPONSABBILITA'

L-attur assikuratur issurrogat fittex biex jigi risarcit ghal nuqqasijiet fil-merkanzija sofferti mill-assikurat tieghu. L-ewwel Qorti cahdet it-talbiet attrici. Il-Qorti ta` l-Appell irriteniet illi l-klawsola "shipped in appararent good order and condition" tistabblixxi prima facie l-prova li l-merkanzija giet skarita f'kondizzjoni tajba. Ma ngiebet ebda prova fil-konfront tas-socjeta` konvenuta Cargo Handling Co. Limited u ghalhekk kien jispetta lill-konvenut Mifsud Brothers Limited li juri li n-nuqqas jew hsara kienu jezistu fil-mument ta` l-iskarikazzjoni u din il-prova ma saritx. Il-Qorti ta` l-appell ikkundannat lill-konvenuti Mifsud nomine jhallsu d-danni llikwidati.
