Associated Metals and Minerals Corp. v. Alexander's Unity MV

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• COGSA claim against negligent carriers for lost goods or damaged was a hybrid contract and tort claim and was thus a “preferred maritime lien”
• “In the more than half century that COGSA has existed, no circuit has indicated that, through COGSA, Congress intended to eliminate the tort cause of action for damage to cargo. Nor does the legislative history of COGSA manifest such an intent.”
