Abstract
This article presents the consignment note (waybill) in inland, sea and air transport
law, according to international conventions and national laws of Serbia and Croatia.
In the introductory remarks, the authors define the consignment note, the different
types of the consignment note and its principal functions. The subsequent analysis
concerns: the issuance (number of copies and conditions of validity), the contents of
the consignment note (mandatory data, other data and reserves) and the form of the
consignment note (written and electronic). It is also shown how the consignment note
is regulated under EU law. Due regard is given to the Additionnal Protocol on CMR
convention (eCMR), which concerns the eletronic consignment note.
The aim of the article is to present a profound and comprehensive comparative
analysis of the current legal situation with regard to the consignment note.
