- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Works up a Bangladesh cargo claim — sea/inland/road/rail — identifying the liability regime, notice and suit time-bars (COGSA one-year!), quantum rules, arrest/security options, and forum (Admiralty Court vs civil court vs arbitration). Use for "cargo shortage/damage claim", "bill of lading dispute", "arrest a vessel", "transport claim time bar".

Cargo Claim Check — Regime, Time-Bar, Forum
Config gate: client-interest profile. Output = attorney-review claim plan.
Regime selector
| Leg | Instrument | Core rule |
|---|---|---|
| Sea (outbound BD B/L) | COGSA 1925 (Hague Rules schedule) | Art. III r.6 — suit within ONE YEAR of delivery/due delivery; unit limitation [verify gold-value practice] |
| Sea (charterparty) | contract + arbitration clause | incorporate-by-reference traps |
| Inland waterways | Inland Shipping Ordinance 1976 | carrier licensing, limitation funds |
| Road | Carriers Act 1865 + সড়ক পরিবহন আইন ২০১৮ | common-carrier strict liability (1865) + notice-before-suit |
| Rail | Railways Act 1890 | ss.72+ responsibility regime; notice u/s 140 |
| Multimodal | B/L terms + network rules | identify the contracting vs performing carrier |
Procedure
- Document set: B/L (original? straight? seaway), survey reports, outturn/short-landing certificates (port authority), NORs, mate's receipts.
- Time-bar table first — COGSA 1-year, Limitation Act 1908 residuals, notice prerequisites (Railways/Carriers) — double-compute and diary.
- Liability theory + defences (perils exceptions, unseaworthiness rebuttal, deviation).
- Security: Admiralty Court Act 2000 arrest in rem at Chattogram anchorage practice — arrest checklist (claim class, ownership proof, undertaking) — always senior-gated.
- Quantum: invoice value vs limitation caps; salvage/GA interplay if declared.
- Forum/ADR: Admiralty (HC Division), civil suit, or arbitration per clause; foreign jurisdiction clauses — enforceability analysis.
Guardrails
The one-year COGSA bar is unforgiving — any matter within 60 days of expiry is RED and escalates same-day. Vessel arrest is a high-consequence remedy: wrongful-arrest exposure must be documented before filing.
