ABSTRACT
13.1 This chapter considers in outline the principal “primary” remedies available to a party to a bill of lading dispute. These may in principle be available after a full trial or on application for summary judgment. The description “primary” is used to distinguish the substantive remedy that a party is ultimately likely to be seeking from ancillary, interim or procedural remedies that are considered in the next chapter. These primary remedies consist of:
damages, by far the most important remedy in practical terms;
injunctions; and
other equitable remedies such as specific performance, rectification and declarations.
