Unreasonable retention of freight by freight forwarders

It is a common practice of forwarding companies to retain freight due to carriers due to damage to the goods in transit. It should be emphasized that in cases 90% this action is unjustified.

The freight forwarder is entitled to retain the freight due to the carrier only in two cases:

a/ when the owner of the goods (the aggrieved party) transfers claims for damage to the goods to the freight forwarder pursuant to art. 509 § 1 of the Civil Code  

or

b/ when the freight forwarder pays for the damage to the goods and thus enters into the rights of the satisfied creditor - art. 518 § 1. CC

The carrier is not responsible for incorrectly loaded and packed goods by the sender!

Goods worth EUR 100,000.00 were stolen from a carrier, the injured party is entitled to 10x less, i.e. EUR 10,079.30!

In July 2020, Germany corrected liability for damage caused by trailers.

The carrier is responsible for contamination of the goods as a result of insufficient washing of the tanker by a certified car wash.
