FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 97-05]
Corpco International Inc. v. Straightway, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Complaint and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint filed by Corpco International Inc.
(``Complainant'') against Straightway, Inc. (``Respondent'') was served
March 11, 1997. Complainant alleges that the Respondent has violated
sections 10 (b)(1), (b)(12), and (d)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46
U.S.C. app. Secs. 1709 (b)(1), (b)(12) and (d)(1), by failing to make
delivery of a mobil crane at destination in Quingdao, PRC, until such
time as additional freight charges were paid, and substantial demurrage
charges and customs penalties were imposed.
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 cross-examination 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 cross-
examination 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 March 11,
1998, and the final decision of the Commission shall be issued by June
9, 1998.
Joseph C. Polking,
Secretary.
