APM TERMINALS has entrusted us to represent them in an important process filed by the company Grúas del Perú S.A., through which they pretend the payment of a US$ 2,000,000.00 compensation for damages suffered because of the non-delivery of a crane unloaded at the port facilities.
Despite the sum of the controversy, the importance of the process is found in the discussion about the legal impossibility of APM TERMINALS to deliver the cargo if the original B/L is not presented and, instead of it, only a copy is submitted.
Our client limited itself to complying with the customs law, so a pronouncement contrary to its interests could affect the operations in the port. The case is currently on first instance and pending for rulling.
