Tanga Pharmaceuticals Plastics Ltd & Ors v Emirates Shipping Line FZE [2025] EWHC 368 (27.02.25)

Following the MV Allion’s engine failure in September 2021, Tanga Pharmaceuticals Plastics Limited & Ors sought damages for cargo loss. Defendants Emirates Shipping Line FZE contended that the claims were time-barred under the Hague Rules, which require claims to be commenced within one year of delivery or the date when the goods should have been delivered. The Claimants argued that the time bar should not apply due to ongoing settlement discussions. The High Court upheld the Claimant’s position, finding the claims were not time-barred under the Hague Rules.
