Bingham LJ
Transport, Contract
A cargo of oil had been carried under bills of lading incorporating the Hague-Visby Rules. There was an alleged theft of part of the cargo, and the question was whether article III rule 6 of the rules barred the claim on the ground that it had not been brought within one year. Held: The court could not finally determine the issue because it was not clear whether the claimants were parties to the bills. The Act and the rules make clear that the bill of lading is the bedrock of the mandatory code. A bill of lading is a contractual document with well-known consequences when endorsed and transferred. The code would not treat the existence of a bill of lading with overriding importance if the code applied with equal force as between those who are not parties to the contract which the bill contains or evidences.
