UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT ENFORCES “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY”
The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in a case argued by our law firm held in a thorough and detailed twenty-eight (28) page decision that the freight forwarder and customs broker’s “limitation of liability” was binding. The Court also flatly rejected Plaintiffs’ argument that the freight forwarder was responsible for alleged damage to cargo during trucking because the trucker allegedly did not have a license and/or permit to move cargo intrastate in New York.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
The Plaintiffs are two subrogated insurance carriers
