Carriage of goods by sea

In a claim for shortage of bulk dry cargoes, by a judgment dated 30th December 2014 the Court of Ravenna agreed with the defendant, represented by Studio Legale Mordiglia, that if the bill of lading is claused “weight unknown”, the burden to prove the shortage and the carrier’s liability is on the claimant. The Court found that such a burden cannot be discharged by unilateral reports of weighing on trucks and dismissed the claim.
