Core concepts
Concept 1
Claims for loss, damage or delay in domestic carriage and the liability of principals, carriers, agents and subcontractors.
Exam cue: Separate the claimant, goods, movement, custody, event, causation, contractual term, evidence and quantified loss.
Concept 2
Separate the claimant, goods, movement, custody, event, causation, contractual term, evidence and quantified loss.
Exam cue: Identify the current jurisdiction, date and official source before relying on a threshold, permit, form or procedure.
Concept 3
Do not use a CMR limit or defence until the movement falls within CMR; domestic conditions and facts may control instead.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
