Tribunal Finds Container Detention Fees Unenforceable
A decision of the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal of New South Wales ("Tribunal") which was published on 5 May 2010 includes a finding that certain container detention fees charged by the Australian agent of an international shipping company were a penalty rather than a genuine pre-estimate of damages and ordered the refund of those fees by the Australian agent (China Shipping (Australia) Agency Co Pty Ltd) to an importer (DV Kelly Pty Ltd).
