FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 00-08]

Safmarine Container Lines N.V. and

Safmarine and CMBT Lines N.V. (SCL)

Trading as CMBT v. Garden State

Spices, Inc.; Notice of Filing of

Compliant and Assignment

June 8, 2000.

Notice is given that a complaint was

filed by Safmarine Container Lines N.V.

(‘‘Safmarine’’) and Safmarine and CMBT

Lines N.V. (SCL) trading as CMBT

(‘‘CMBT’’) (‘‘Complainants’’) against

Garden State Spices, Inc.

(‘‘Respondent’’). Complainants allege

that Respondent violated section

10(a)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46

U.S.C. app. 1709(a)(1), by knowingly

and willfully obtaining transportation

for property at less than the properly

applicable rates and charges by unjust

and unfair devices or means in

connection with five shipments carried

on a freight collect basis from J.N. Port,

India, to New York. Complainants

contend that Respondent induced

Complainants to relinquish their

possessory lien on the cargoes at the

port of discharge, based on Respondent

tendering checks represented to be full

payment of the collect freight and

charges, which subsequently ‘‘bounced’’

due to insufficient funds, all to the

detrimental reliance of Complainants.

Complainants state that they have

been injured to their damage in the sum

of $10,625. Complainants request that

the Respondent be required to answer

these charges; that after due hearing, an

order be made commanding

Respondents to pay reparations of

$10,625 with interest from the

respective dates of injury and attorney’s

fees or such other sum as the

Commission may determine to be

proper as an award of reparation.

This proceeding has been assigned to

the office of Administrative Law Judges.

Hearing in this matter, if any is held,

shall commence within the time

limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61,

and only after consideration has been

given by the parties and the presiding

officer to the use of alternative forms of

dispute resolution. The hearing shall

include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the

presiding officer only upon proper

showing that there are genuine issues of

material fact that cannot be resolved on

the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,

depositions, or other documents or that

the nature of the matter in issue is such

that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the

development of an adequate record.

Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR

502.61, the initial decision of the

presiding officer in this proceeding shall

be issued by June 8, 2001, and the final

decision of the Commission shall be

issued by October 9, 2001.

Secretary.
