Carrier Laws

Carrier Laws — Carriage of Goods & Passengers is a single-volume compendium addressing the legal framework that governs movement of persons and goods by road, rail, sea and air. The book reproduces key domestic statutes and international conventions (selectively) — framed to aid comprehension of carrier obligations, contract terms, limitations of liability, documentation (bills of lading, airwaybills, consignment notes), insurance and claims procedures. Section-wise commentary highlights practical drafting tips, sample contract clauses and remedies (damages, salvage, limitation periods, jurisdictional issues). Each chapter includes a short case-law digest of leading judgments, comparative notes on multimodal carriage, and checklists for claims handling and compliance (including carrier defenses and force majeure scenarios). Practical annexures provide commonly used forms and precedents for pleadings, notices, and limitation computations. The layout balances verbatim statutory text with exam-oriented summaries and practitioner tools, making it equally suitable for law students preparing for exams and lawyers handling transport & logistics disputes.
