The supersession clause in the bills of lading did not, therefore, prevent Norsul and Mitsui from being bound by the arbitration clause in the charter party between them.

The other situation is that of an 'innocent' party, someone who did not have or could reasonably not have knowledge of the delivery, has acquired the bill of lading in good faith.

It was further observed that, while in principle under this approach arbitration clauses contained in bills of lading would be unenforceable, specific exemptions should be foreseen for special liner trades.

Some reservations were raised with respect to the conditions, such as the timing of the notice, and of its effectiveness if it were included in a bill of lading that arrived after the cargo.

It was further suggested that the non documentary approach was more open to the possible future needs of electronic commerce, and also in light of the fact that electronic transport records might not bear any resemblance to bills of lading.

The Court applied article 16 HR, ratified by the Republic of Tunisia, under which a carrier may stipulate substantiated reservations if he has reasonable grounds to suspect the accuracy of the particulars given by the shipper in the bill of lading.
