Litigation Procedure – Statute of Limitations – Bounced Cheque – Shipping – Maritime Agreement - Evidence
This case involved shipping which had not been paid for as cheques had been used to make the payment which had bounced. The key issue was the relevant statute of limitations. This was based on the fact the original agreement was a maritime agreement and the cheques were only treated as proof in the action.
