The series of cases arising from dispute over labor contracts for crew members of “Angelic Power” handled by our firm were selected into the “Top Ten Typical Maritime Cases in 2021” published by the Supreme People’s Court and the “Top Ten Typical Cases in 2021” published by Guangzhou Maritime Court.
In the face of the actual difficulties caused to the seafarers by the COVID-19 and the fluctuation of the shipping market, our lawyers have been diligent and conscientious, successfully having the crew’s labor remuneration awarded by effective judgments first paid from the vessel’s auction proceeds after completing various legal procedures such as creditor’s rights registration, right confirmation and payment distribution under the fair judgment and enforcement of Guangzhou Maritime Court, thereby avoiding the need to wait for the completion of procedures involving other creditors’ claims which may last for several years. In the context of the global COVID-19 outbreak, we have protected the legitimate rights and interests of seafarers who ensure the stability of the global supply chain to the greatest extent and received their high praise and appreciation.
