Pan Ocean Co Ltd v China-Base Group Co Ltd and Another (The "Grand Ace 12") [2019]
Pan Ocean Co Ltd v China-Base Group Co Ltd and Another (The "Grand Ace 12") [2019] EWHC 982 — 16 April 2019 (Hancock QC)
“The Court declined to grant owners an anti-suit injunction restraining proceedings against them by buyers of a cargo of cycle oil carried on board their vessel. An implied contract (said by owners (i) to arise out of buyers' conduct and (ii) to include a B/L exclusive English law/jurisdiction clause -ECJ) even if established, was insufficient to satisfy Art.25 of the Recast Brussels Regulation: whilst the B/L was in writing, the required consent to it and its ECJ was not.”
