SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 16 – Five containers of
clementines left Chile on June
10, 2019, bound for
Philadelphia. But when they
arrived, 20 days late, they
were "soft, withered,
deteriorated and in different
stages of decay, inter alia."
A lawsuit
ensued. On
September 16 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it. One issue
involved the plan of defendant
M/V MSC Madhu B to join MSC as
an additional defendant. It
was explained that while often
the ship itself is sued, in
rem, in this case given the
amount at issue - $80,000 -
that probably won't happen.
The case is Kopke v. M/V MSC
Madhu B. et al., 20-cv-5329
