'''Kuwait Rocks Co v AMN Bulkcarriers Inc (The “Astra”)'''
'''English Commercial Court: Flaux J: [2013] EWHC 865 (Comm): 18 April 2013'''
Robert Bright QC (instructed by Reed Smith LLP) for AMN/Owners
'''Note: In its decision of 7 October 2016 in the case of Grand China Logistics Holding (Group) v Spar Shipping AS [2016] EWCA Civ 982, the Court of Appeal said that the decision in this case on the 'condition' point was wrong.'''
'''Summary'''
Charterers’ obligation to pay hire, together with the anti-technicality provision (and arguably even without the anti-technicality provision) was a condition of the charter, breach of which entitled owners both to terminate the charter and to claim damages for loss of profit over the remaining minimum period of the charter.
