Abstract
The consignee is presumed guilty of the detention of the wagon at en-route stations as well as of the delay in taking over the goods and, unless proven otherwise, is liable to pay demurrage. The consignee is a person who received and signed the waybill regardless of the fact who actually received the goods. The person who actually receives the goods acts on behalf of the consignee who has confirmed the receipt of the waybill and who remains the party liable under the contract of transport by rail. The Supreme Court in charge of revision may not review the facts established.
