Campbell’s Meat Market Ltd. v. The "Merak"

In Admiralty Practice, In Rem Actions and Arrest on (Updated )

The issue in this case was whether an arrest of a cargo of shrimp should be set aside on the grounds that the cargo had been sold prior to the service of the Statement of Claim and Warrant of Arrest. The Court reviewed the evidence and found as a fact that the cargo had been sold prior to the arrest and, therefore, set aside the arrest.
