Carriage International (Warsaw Convention)

Any carriage in which according to the contract made by the parties, the place of departure and the place of destination, whether or not there be a break in the carriage or a transshipment, are situated either within the territories of the two High Contracting Parties or within the territory of a single High Contracting Party, if there is an agreed stopping place within a territory subject to the sovereignty of another power, even though that power is not a party to the Convention.

Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992

Replaces the Bill of Lading Act 1855 in transferring rights and liabilities with bills of lading, sea waybills and ship’s delivery orders. The Act transfers rights to all ‘lawful holders’ (e.g. the holder of the bill of lading, the receiver of the goods, persons identified in the ship’s delivery order) (s.2). The removal of certain technicalities makes it easier for them to sue the carrier when goods are lost or damaged at sea. The Act also applies similar principles to electronic documentation.
