Year: 2018 Language: english Author: Frank Stevens Genre: Reference book Publisher: Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business Edition: 1 ISBN: 978-1-351-21422-3 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 382 Description: The carriage of goods by sea starts off with a contract of carriage, an essentially simple and straightforward contract between two parties, the shipper and the carrier. Very often, however, a bill of lading is issued and a third party appears on the scene: the holder of the bill of lading. The holder was not involved in the making of the contract of carriage, but does have rights, and possibly obligations, against the carrier at destination. The question then is how the third-party holder of the bill acquires those rights and obligations. Analysing the different theories that have been proposed to explain the position of the third-party holder, this book makes a distinction between contractual theories and non-contractual theories to explain the holder’s position. Contractual theories build on the initial contract of carriage and apply contract law mechanisms while non-contractual theories construe the position of the third-party holder independently. Following the analysis and appraisal of the different theories, this book makes the case that the position of the third-party holder of the bill of lading is not obvious or self-evident; and submits that a statutory approach to the position of the holder of the bill of lading has advantages and would be preferable.

Description: The carriage of goods by sea starts off with a contract of carriage, an
essentially simple and straightforward contract between two parties, the
shipper and the carrier. Very often, however, a bill of lading is issued and a
third party appears on the scene: the holder of the bill of lading. The holder
was not involved in the making of the contract of carriage, but does have
rights, and possibly obligations, against the carrier at destination. The
question then is how the third-party holder of the bill acquires those rights
and obligations.
Analysing the different theories that have been proposed to explain the
position of the third-party holder, this book makes a distinction between
contractual theories and non-contractual theories to explain the holder’s
position. Contractual theories build on the initial contract of carriage and
apply contract law mechanisms while non-contractual theories construe the
position of the third-party holder independently.
Following the analysis and appraisal of the different theories, this book
makes the case that the position of the third-party holder of the bill of lading
is not obvious or self-evident; and submits that a statutory approach to the
position of the holder of the bill of lading has advantages and would be
preferable.
