Judge dismisses case against Rich May client Carry Transit after two years of litigation
On July 25, 2007, Rich May obtained a substantial victory for its
client, Superior Bulk Logistics, Inc. d/b/a Carry Transit, when the
federal district court in Jacksonville, Florida dismissed with
prejudice an action brought by CSX Transportation for recovery of
demurrage charges in excess of $600,000. Demurrage is a penalty
assessed by a railroad for detaining a rail car beyond a certain time
period allowed for unloading. Faced with a motion for summary judgment
and an imminent trial date if the summary judgment motion was not
allowed, CSX decided to terminate the case after more than two years of
litigation and requested that the Court dismiss the case with
prejudice. Carry Transit assented to CSX’s motion, but requested that
it be awarded its costs. Over the opposition of CSX, the Court awarded
costs to Carry Transit. James T. Finnigan represented Carry Transit
throughout the entire litigation.
