Case Study
AI Summary
This case study analyzes a legal dispute arising from the damage of perishable goods during international shipping. Mr. Grey Gander contracted with SS Golden Goose Lines to transport baked goods from Florida to Australia, with refrigeration agreed upon. Due to a COVID-19 quarantine and a subsequent lightning strike that disabled the refrigeration, the goods were rendered unfit for consumption. The analysis focuses on the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1991, and Incoterms (specifically FOB). The study examines the responsibilities of the seller and carrier, considering factors like due diligence, acts of God, and quarantine restrictions. It concludes that the carrier is not liable for the damage due to the lightning strike and quarantine restrictions but explores the seller's potential liability under a CIF contract if the goods were not insured.
