PRETRIAL ORDER

HYUPJIN SHIPPING CO., LTD.,

JURISDICTION

13
14

This is a suit for demurrage arising out of the carriage of cargo loaded on board the M/V

15

NORFOLK in Sattahip, Thailand and Masan, Korea, and carried to Guanta, Venezuela pursuant

16

to the terms of two Liner Booking Notes. The Booking Notes are maritime contracts and therefore,

17

Plaintiff’s claims fall within 28 U.S.C. §1331, and Plaintiff properly designated its claims under

18

Rule 9(h) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as admiralty and maritime claims.
CLAIM AND DEFENSES

19
20

21

claims: breach of contract with respect to the Booking Note for the cargo loaded in Masan, Korea

22

and discharged in Guanta, Venezuela. If Teras is the prevailing party, it is entitled to recover its

23

attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to the maritime contract at issue herein.

24
25

Defendant, Hyupjin Shipping Co., Ltd. (“Hyupjin” or “Defendant”) will pursue the
following affirmative defenses and claim at trial:

1.

Plaintiff’s damages, if any, were caused in whole or in part by Plaintiff’s own

negligence and/or unauthorized unilateral choices.
2.

Plaintiff’s damages, in any, were caused in whole or in part by the negligence of

third parties outside the control and responsibility of Hyupjin.

5

3.

Plaintiff has failed to mitigate its damages.

6

4.

Plaintiff breached the terms of the parties’ agreements. As a result, to the extent

7

that Hyupjin is found liable to Plaintiff, such liability should be offset in an amount equivalent to

8

the value of Plaintiff’s liability to Hyupjin for the breach.

9

5.

Hyupjin reasonably relied upon Plaintiff’s representations regarding its ability to

10

perform its obligations under the parties’ agreement. Specifically, Plaintiff made representations

11

regarding the performance characteristics of the NORFOLK, as well as the vessel’s anticipated

12

time of arrival and readiness for the loading or discharge of cargo at Sattahip, Masan, and Guanta.

13

As a result of its reliance, Hyupjin did not hire other available vessels that would have been able

14

to arrive in Guanta sooner and avoid the holiday period. Because Hyupjin relied on Plaintiff’s

15

representations to its detriment, Plaintiffs should be estopped from asserting claims against

16

Hyupjin.

17

Defendant will assert the following claims at trial:

18

1.

19

In the event Hyupjin is the substantially prevailing party, it is entitled, pursuant to

the terms of the Booking Notes, to recover its attorney fees and costs.
