Carriage by truck - Damage to cargo freight payment - Application of law : [case review]

Na prijevoze kamionom primjenjuje se CMR konvencija kad je u ugovoru navedeno mjesto prijema i mjesto odredišta, a nalaze se u različitim zemljama, bez obzira na mjesto sjedišta i nacionalnosti stranaka, i okolnost je li za prijevoz izdan tovarni list. Ako primatelj ne preuzme robu na odredištu, pa ona na zahtjev pošiljatelja bude vraćena, radi se o jednom ugovoru o prijevozu koji obuhvaća polazni i povratni dio puta, a ne o dva ugovora od kojih jedan obuhvaća polazni, a drugi povratni dio puta. U ovim se slučajevima tužbeni zahtjev vozara smatra troškom koji mu je prouzročen izvršavanjem pošiljateljevih naloga, na koje vozar ima pravo, ako za zapreku, uzrokovanu pošiljateljevim uputstvima, vozar nije kriv. Ako primatelj odbije preuzeti robu od vozara, on nije stupio u ugovor o prijevozu i to bez obzira na razlog nepreuzimanja robe, a ako pošiljatelj naredi vozaru da robu vrati u mjesto ukrcaja, vozar mora poduzeti potrebne mjere da roba stigne natrag neoštećena jer inače odgovara pošiljatelju za naknadu štete.If the place of delivery and destination are explicitly stated in the agreement and if they are in different countries, the carriage by truck will be carried out subject to provisions of CMR Convention regardless of where the place of business or domicile is, and regardless of whether or not a bill of lading is issued. If the receiver did not take over the goods at the destination and thay are sent back at the request of the sender, both carriage will be effected on the basis of one and the same agreement on carriage by truck and not as two separate agreements. The claim stated by the carrier will be for expenses caused in exercising the orders given by the sender. The carrier has the right of claiming such expenses provided the impediment, caused the sender\u27s instruction, did not result of the guilt of the carrier. Where the receiver refuses to take over the goods from the carrier, he will not become party to the agreement. Upon the request from the sender for return carriage of the goods concerned, the carrier must take all necessary steps to preserve the goods from any damage or he will be liable to the sender for the indemnity
