Express Trailers Ltd have been ordered by a court to pay €51,463.85 in damages after part of a consignment of clothes delivered to the UK was found to be missing.

The case was filed by Middlesea Insurance, which had assumed the rights of Bortex Clothing Ltd.

Bortex had shipped the container full of men's clothes, but on arrival, it was found that clothes worth a total of €51,463.85 were missing.

It was alleged that the container was opened and some items were stolen in the Port of Genoa

Express Containers said that what had happened was the result of a fortuitous event or other matters over which it had no control, and at the time the consignment was not within its responsibility.

The court, however, declared that the company was solely responsible for the damages suffered by Bortex.
