This was a case involving carriage of goods by air where the goods were mis-delivered to the buyer without payment or the consent of the plaintiff bank. The Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the trial judge and held that the bank was entitled to sue the carrier for conversion as the seller had pledged the goods in its favour. The pledge was completed when the goods were delivered to the freight forwarder for carriageunder an air waybill showing the Bank's agent and receiving bank in Hong Kong as the consignee.
