A SHIPOWNER AND CHARTERER.

FRENCH COURT.

Paris.The Paris Court of Ap- peal has delivered judgment in a case concerning the respective liabilities of shipowner and char- teror under n'demise charter.

On April 27, 1925, the cargo steamer "Alsace II., owned by the Compagnie Francaise

d'Armement et d'Importation de Nitrate, chartered to the Venture Weir Company, and trading be tween Europe and West Africa, ran aground on the Rio Muni coast. She eventually got off | without assistance, but had to dry- dock for repairs at Antwerp. The charterers claimed from the own- ers the refunding of the amount paid for repairs and dry docking, including lowage. This the own- ers declined to pay; at the same time they lodged a counter-claim for the payment of charter money during the period while the ship was out of commission for re- pairs, which the charterers held they did not owe. The Paris Tribunal de Commerce found for

the owners on both points.

This judgment the Court of Appeal has now completely re- versed, finding the Venture Weir Company not liable for payment of charter money for the period in question, the full cost of repairs to be refunded by the owners. As under the charter, sea risks were to be met by the owners.
