[2020] EWHC 619 (Comm)
Key Principle
On the assessment of damages for a charterer's non-performance of contract-of-affreightment shipments, substantial damages are measured by the difference between the freight the owner would have earned under the COA and its actual position, applying the compensatory principle as clarified by the Court of Appeal in the same litigation ([2019] EWCA Civ 1102).
