Yes, that’s right - we recorded our first live podcast episode to an audience! And what an exceptional audience it was. The luncheon was put on by the Society of Maritime Arbitrators, New York, and we were very fortunate to speak with approximately 40 leading US maritime arbitrators and counsel at the event.
We took the recent English Court of Appeal decision in the Eternal Bliss to the US. Literally and theoretically.
The episode explores whether demurrage covers all kinds of losses arising from a breach of laytime. It’s a one breach / two losses case. Not as simple as it sounds. Indeed, Calum and Luke saw this one somewhat differently.
We rounded off by examining how this type of case may rest within the demurrage landscape of US maritime law. There are notable distinctions and similarities in the comparison.
Thank you very much to the SMA for the invitation, and in particular to Molly McCafferty, member of the SMA Board of Governors, and LeRoy Lambert, President of the SMA for their kind introductions and words.
I suppose all that is left to say is that Case by Case is now formally accepting invitations for live speaking slots!
