Geogas A.S. v. Trammo Gas Ltd. (The Baleares) - House of Lords (Lord Bridge, Lord Brandon, Lord Griffiths, Lord Jauncey and Lord Lowry) - 18 July 1991
No appeal to House of Lords under Arbitration Act 1979 where Court of Appeal refuses leave
This appeal arose out of a dispute between the owners and charterers of the
Baleares
. The ship failed to reach the loading point by the cancelling date and on the following day the charterers cancelled the
fixture, without prejudice to claims for damages. Those claims were adjudicated upon by three arbitrators who on 9 February
1989 unanimously awarded damages to the charterers.
