Forwarding agent - Time bar of a claim arising out of the forwarding of a cargo : [case review]

Veljko Vujović ; Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

According to the Article 374 of the Yugoslav Law of Obligations the time bar period for a claim arising out of the forwarding services of the cargo is three yeards provided that both parties to the contract on forwarding of the cargo are legal entities.
It should be noted that the claim of the forwarding agent against the other party to the contract on forwarding the cargo for the freight paid to the other party should be based on the contract on forwarding of the cargo and not on the contract on carriage of the cargo. Therefore in such cases the time bar limit prescribed for liabilities arising out of the contract on carriage of the cargo cannot be applied.
