Two first instance judgments of the Admiralty Court issued in 2013 were addressed in previous updates (for further details see: "Court considers application for third-party intervention in admiralty action" and "Never too early to intervene: court revisits third-party intervention"). Both judgments related to the same action (8/2012). In each case the applicant filed for review by the full bench of the Supreme Court in its admiralty jurisdiction.

Facts

Delaford Trading Limited was engaged in a separate action (20/2012) in the Admiralty Court against the ship AVANTIS II for the provision of bunkers and lubricants. On September 6 2012 it filed an application seeking leave of the court to be added as a defendant (or alternatively to be allowed to intervene) in Action 8/2012 which the Cooperative Bank of Evoias had instituted against the ship, to dispute the bank's claim against the ship, deriving from loans that the bank claimed to have provided to the ship's owners.
