Mur Shipping BV v Louis Dreyfus Company Suisse SA [2019] EWHC 3240 — 13 November 2019 (Cockerill J)

“Under an amended NYPE c/p providing for Charterers' claims to be extinguished unless notified to Owners and accompanied by "all available supporting documents (whether relating to liability or quantum or both)", Charterers' claim was time-barred as a report, issued at Charterers' request but not supplied to Owners until claim submissions were served, fell within the category of "supporting documents" and therefore was required to be presented with the notification as it supported the liability and quantum of the claim. The clause was wide enough to cover documents which were arguably privileged.”
