The Case Law Study of Multi-Modal Transport Issue

See El Greco (Australia) Pty Ltd v Mediterranean Shipping Co SA. In this case, a majority of the Federal Court of Australia held that a statement in a bill of lading that a container was said to contain a number of "pieces posters and prints" was not an effective enumeration of the contents "as packed in such article of transport" under Article IV Rule 5(c) of the Hague-Visby Rules. In consequence, the container was to be regarded as the package or unit for limitation purposes.
