Compensation ordered for damaged cargo to UK

The National Consumer Commission last week dismissed the appeals of Zim Israel Navigation Co and Are Bee Star Maine Agencies Ltd against the order of the UT Chandigarh consumer commission which asked them to pay compensation for loss suffered by an exporter. Ramco International consigned a cargo of garden tools to England. The goods reached Sheffield in a mutilated condition. Therefore the consignee rejected the goods. Fresh package had to be sent to the buyer. This led to the consumer dispute. The national commission upheld the judgment of the union territory’s commission.
