Shipping Case From 1946 With UN Footnote Heads To End Game With Excel Spreadsheet

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 2 – On the question of who was insuring a ship in the 1940s, Cosmopolitan Shipping Co. in 2017 sued Continental Insurance Company.

On August 25 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lorna G. Schofield held an evidentiary hearing. Inner City Press covered it - and the September 2 oral argument that followed. 

 On August 25 there was examination and cross-examination, then re-direct, of "insurance archeologist" Alan Jervis, about 1946 insurance involving the "United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration... an international relief agency, largely dominated by the United States but representing 44 nations. Founded in 1943, it became part of the United Nations in 1945, and it largely shut down operations in 1947."   

Some of the documents go back even further. Archeology indeed.

 On September 2 it was argued that the US had used UNRRA, much as it has used the UN in this millennium so far, to avoid accusations of imperialism. At the end Judge Schofield ordered that the plaintiff must file an Excel spreadsheet comparing policy terms and other items, the defense by September 17.

The case is Cosmopolitan Shipping Co., Inc. v. Continental Insurance Company, 18-cv-3167 (Schofield)
