Scruff, you sir are a bloody genius. Throughout all of this I have missed one obvious point. There does not appear to be a Legal Injunction or Lien in place, something I will chase up as soon as the Canadian business day kicks of. Neither company has made reference to legal proceedings, just claim and counter claim on this supposed debt.Actually scratch that - if ECU did the shipping then it wouldn't be GWC's ship.
Can a maritime lien even exist if GWC is only an agent and not directly involved in the actual shipping? The more I think about this the more confusing it gets.
Without a Lin in place I'm thinking Aust law will fall in my favor and the good able to be picked up.. Thx
