Win the dispute over freight forwarding case

Our client purchased four containers of aquatic products from overseas and experienced delays in loading them into warehouses in China, resulting in damage to the goods due to thawing. On behalf of client, we sued the freight forwarding company for compensation. After being tried in court, it was determined that the freight forwarding company should compensate, and this case was won.

Article 10 of the “Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Disputes over Maritime Freight Forwarding” stipulates: “If the principal claims that the freight forwarding enterprise shall bear corresponding compensation liability on the grounds that the handling of maritime freight forwarding affairs by the freight forwarding enterprise has caused losses to the principal, the people’s court shall support it, except when the freight forwarding enterprise proves that it is not at fault.”.
