Dispute over liability for stolen container. We are representing APM Terminals—the concessionaire of Peru’s largest port—in a dispute brought against our client by technology distributor Ingram Micro and OSITRAN—a regulatory agency responsible for overseeing public transportation infrastructure. The case involves the attribution of liability for the theft of a container carrying a multimillion-dollar sum in laptops.
Liability attribution linked to compliance with security protocols: Our firm is working to reverse the supposed attribution of liability by demonstrating that our client complied with all port security protocols. The responsibility lies with the customs agent and the transport company involved, as they were in charge of properly managing the credentials and users provided by the port to oversee the cargo removal.
Significant impact on port security procedures: This case is crucial for our client, as it involves a review of the port’s cargo removal security procedures and presents a potential economic impact. The case’s outcome could affect the port terminal’s operational security protocols, a vital aspect of the client’s business.
Latest development: As the lawsuit was recently filed and is in its early stages, our firm’s advice is ongoing.
