The Supreme Court just handed down its decision in Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. v. Regal-Beloit Corp., here.
This case involved the interplay between the Carriage of Goods at Sea Act (COGSA) and the Carmack Amendment which relates to cargo on rail carriers. My earlier post here, here, and here.
I'm still reading. Twitter version: COGSA and bills of lading trump the liability scheme in Carmack relating to cargo damaged while being transported by rail when shipped under a maritime bill of lading.
