Bill of lading disputes cover challenges to carrier liability, delivery terms, and cargo loss or damage under international carriage terms, domestic shipping liens, and the bills themselves. A solicitor investigates the contract, assesses liability under the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992 and the terms of the bill, and negotiates or pursues claims against carriers, freight forwarders, or insurers. They may also address subrogation and associated claims in England and Wales courts.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
They identify which terms govern liability, review documentary conditions, and manage procedures for enforcement or defence, including potential arbitration, cross-border issues, and complex factual matrices around cargo description, packaging, and receipt.
