Routledge The Contract of Carriage - Multimodal Transport Law

The Contract of Carriage: Multimodal Transport and Unimodal Regulation offers a fresh look at how to handle multimodal transport regulation. While most existing literature focuses on a strict interpretation of conventions, this book changes the approach by analyzing the issue through the lens of contract law. When goods suffer damage during international transport, determining carrier liability can be difficult. This text examines how liability is governed by established international rules, including the CMR convention and the Hague-Visby Rules. It provides a necessary perspective for anyone studying or working within the legal frameworks of global shipping and logistics. By shifting the focus from convention interpretation to the law of contracts, this volume helps readers understand the legal obligations and risks involved in moving goods across different modes of transport. It is a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of modern commercial law and the regulatory environment surrounding international carriage.
