Supreme Court Seeks Views of Solicitor General
April 22, 2003
The U.S. Supreme Court has invited the Solicitor General to file a brief expressing the views of the United States in the case of Green Fire Insurance Company v. M/V Hyundai Liberty. In this case (decided in 2002 by the Ninth Circuit under the name of Kukje Hwajae Insurance v. M/V Hyundai Liberty), the appellate court held, among other things, that the forum selection clause in the ship owner's bill of lading was controlling as regards an action brought against the ship for damage to cargo carried on board.
