Tropwood AG of Zug v Jade Enterprises Ltd (The Tropwind): 1982

The court considered ‘the nature of a shipowner’s right to recover from charterers remuneration for services rendered after a ship has been withdrawn from the charterers’ service under a time charter, pursuant to an express contractual right of withdrawal’.
Held: Apart from any express request which might be found to have been made (to render such services), Rober Goff J thought that ‘their liability (if any) to pay remuneration for the services so rendered can only derive from the principles of the law of restitution’.
