"The vessel was in three containers and the US Marshals went into the Oracle Compound at Pier 80 at 9.00 am this morning and big MAC trucks were arriving to pick up containers. US Marshall Christian Hanson had called Oracle's lawyer at 8.20 am from the Federal Building in San Francisco and told him that no containers with the vessel were to leave Pier 80 otherwise Oracle would be in contempt of the court's order.
However as US Marshall Christian Hanson and his Deputy approached Pier 80 two containers were being removed by truck from Pier 80 at some speed. The truck licence numbers and the container numbers were all noted and a local contractor had taken a photo of the first truck and the numbers on the side of the shipping container."
This is beyond ridiculous.
It is kind of silly. That kind of law was written for a completely different type of situation. Besides, I thought that is was already ruled on that it didn't apply here and that the guy was paid for the time he actually spent with the team. The boat couldn't be "arrested" for a case involving damages - only wages not paid that were earned while on the vessel.
