The case between Nigerian Shippers’ Council and the duo of Seaport Terminal Operators Association of Nigeria (STOAN) and Association Shipping Lines Agencies (ASLA) is expected to come up today for hearing at the Federal Court of Appeal in Lagos.
The Court had adjourned case on the 13th of May, 2015.
Shipping Position Daily recalls that the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos had in December 2014, ruled in favour of the Nigerian Shippers Council as the port economic regulator and affirmed the legality of the Council’s position in price regulation and also instructed the concessionaires to revert to the port charges that were approved in1999, but the terminal operators filed fresh charges on stay of execution at the Court of Appeal .
The Federal Court of Appeal then adjourned the case to February 4, 2016.
The court also adjourned to 4th February the case between the Association of Shipping Lines Agencies (ASLA) against the Shippers Council and the Shippers Association of Lagos State (SALS) as co-defendants.
The Judge, Mrs. Uzoamaka Anyanwu had said last year that the Court was adjourning the case as a result of the backlog of pending cases it had to handle. She then adjourned to today February 4, 2016.
