A Number Of Legal Issues In The Delivery Of Goods

Delivery of goods without original Bill of Lading (B/L) means the act which the carrier hasn't recovered the original B/L but delivered the goods to the others at the port of destination. The most important reason is between the development of navigation technology and the slow transmission of shipping documents. In essence, it is the contradiction between the developments of science and technology and backward law system. In the shipping Practice, the actual carrier, the agent of the carrier,and other Parties Will be involved in the issue of delivering the goods without the original B/l the article analyses the legal responsibility of the related parties. The article also discuss the cause of in which the carrier shall not be liable for the loss for the goods, and discusses the right operation should be taken under the straight bill of lading. Since the goods are always taken by the copy of B/L and the letter of indemnity when the consignee doesn't get the original B/l, the article discusses the legal character, the legal effect, and the standard form of the letter of indemnity. I hope the article will be helpful for the in depth study of the law making and the judicatory practice about the issue of delivering the goods without the original B/L,which will assist in correctly handling the issue,and averting the risks and damages.
