MANILA, Philippines -- The Board of Marine Inquiry and the Sulpicio Lines Inc. have been given 30 days by a local court to file their memoranda or summary on the injunction case filed by the shipping firm.

Judge Antonio Eugenio Jr. of the Manila regional trial court gave the order Tuesday after Associate Solicitor General Arnold Martinez made the 30-day appeal without further extensions.

Sulpicio’s legal counsel, Arthur Lim, had asked for 15 days.

The resolution on the case will be released after the memoranda from both counsels have been reviewed.

The SLI filed the injunction case against the BMI, which the shipping firm said had no jurisdiction to investigate maritime accidents like the incident involving one of its inter-island vessels, the MV Princess of the Stars, which sank last month during a storm, killing hundreds of its passengers and crew.

Sulpicio claimed that only the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) had the sole mandate to conduct an investigation.
