Maritime Law Association of Singapore presents Sparring the Astra: Is the law on payment of hire clear cut again? A Talk by Professor Filippo Lorenzon Followed by Annual General Meeting & Networking Dinner Complimentary for all MLAS Members Date: Wednesday, 20 May 2015 | Time: 5pm | Venue: NTUC Building Meeting Room 801 www.mlas.org.sg Professor Filippo Lorenzon About this talk Programme Outline Filippo Lorenzon is a Professor of Maritime and Commercial Law at the University of Southampton and the former Director of the Institute of Maritime Law (2010-2014). He is also Visiting Professor at ECUPL in Shanghai and at the University of Cagliari (Italy) as well as at several international training centres worldwide. He has a LL.D. (Triest, Italy) and a LL.M. (Soton) and is fully qualified as an Avvocato in Italy and as a Solicitor in England and Wales. Filippo is a Member of the ICC (UK) Committee on Transport and Logistics, the Italian Maritime Law Association (AIDiM), the British Maritime Law Association (BMLA), the European Maritime Law Organisation (EMLO) and the International Bar Association (IBA). Filippo is a Consultant with Campbell Johnston Clark Ltd. in London. Until 2013, it was widely believed that the hire payment clause found in the NYPE form was an innominate term, unable per se to allow termination in case of late payment. In The Astra [2013] EWHC 865 (Comm), Flaux J concluded that a clause demanding punctual payment of hire was a condition of the contract and therefore failure to comply with it allows shipowners to terminate the charterparty. On 18 March 2015, Popplewell J reached a different conclusion in Spar Shipping AS v. Grand China Logistics Holding (Group) Co. Ltd [2015] EWHC 718; where timely payment of hire by the charterers was held not to be a condition. Has Spar Shipping now restored the position and is the law on payment of hire clear again? Come join us and hear Prof Filippo Lorenzon discuss the impact of this recent case. 4.30pm to 5.00pm Registration 5.00pm to 5.10pm Welcome by President 5.10pm to 6.10pm Presentation by Professor Filippo Lorenzon 6.10pm to 6.30pm Q&A facilitated by President 6.30pm to 7.30pm Commencement of Annual General Meeting (Members Only) 7.30pm to 9.30pm Networking Dinner The Talk will commence punctually.
