| 释义 | `1`FREIGHT2 `2` "Legal Lexicon": When the ship has performed the whole voyage and has brought only a part of her cargo to the place of destination; in this case there is a difference between a general ship and a ship chartered for a specific sum for the whole voyage. In the former case, the freight is to be paid for the goods which may be, delivered at their place of destination; in the latter it has been questioned whether the freight could be apportioned and it seems, that in such case a partial performance is not sufficient and that a special payment cannot be claimed except in special cases. These are some of the exceptions to the general rule, called for by principles of equity, that a partial performance is not sufficient and that a partial payment or rateable freight cannot be claimed. In general, the master has a lien on the goods and need not part with them until the freight is paid; and when the regulations of the revenue require them to be landed in a public warehouse, the master may enter them in his own name and preserve the lien. His right to retain the goods may however, be waived either by an express agreement at the time of making the original contract or by his subsequent agreement or consent. --b-- There's probably related stuff in other Library areas, so explore. |
