AP Moller-Maersk A/s (t/a Maersk Line) v Kyokuyo Ltd [2018] EWCA Civ 778-17 April 2018 (Flaux, Gloster LLJ)

“The Court of Appeal reaffirmed that "unit" in Article IV rule 5 of the Hague Visby Rules means a physical item and that "enumeration... as packed" means no more than specification in words or figures of the number of packages. Therefore, the first instance judge correctly concluded that the specification on the bills (in this case, waybills) was such that identified individual frozen tuna loins as the relevant units.”
