THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN OW BUNKERS - WHEN A SALE OF GOODS IS NOT A SALE OF GOODS - LEON ALEXANDER, CLYDE&CO
Clyde&CoKNOWLEDGE TO ELEVATE

In May 2016 the Supreme Court of England & Wales gave judgment in an OW Bunkers test case entitled "Res Cogitans".

The brief facts were that one OW entity had contracted to supply a vessel with bunkers but the actual physical supply had been sub-contracted to a Rosneft entity.  The contract between Rosneft and OW gave OW 30 day credit terms and included a retention of title clause ("ROT"), i.e. a clause which said that title in the bunkers would stay with Rosneft until payment was received from OW.

OW entered liquidation and did not pay Rosneft even though the bunkers had been supplied to the vessel which proceeded to burn them. As it was concerned about having to pay twice, the vessel sought a declaration that it did not have to pay OW.

A key question the Supreme Court considered was whether a bunker supply contract on credit terms was a contract for the sale of goods pursuant to the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

The Court ruled that it was not a sale of goods.  Instead the Court found that it was a unique agreement pursuant to which the purchaser bought the right to consume the bunkers prior to payment.

Practically, this meant that the ROT was meaningless and OW, as contractual supplier to the vessel, was entitled to receive payment for the bunkers.

The Supreme Court's decision came as a surprise to most in the industry who had thought that they were selling goods when they "sold" bunkers.  It remains to be seen whether other goods which are sold on the understanding that they will be consumed, on-sold or manufactured prior to payment will not be a sale of goods.
