Need To Review The Provisions Governing The Obligations Of The Parties In A Contract For The Carriage Of Goods By Land

Authors : Brassi Mohamed .

Abstract

The provisions governing road transport contracts are set out in the Commercial Code of 1975 and governed by Law 01-13 on the regulation and organization of road transport, which regulates transport contracts as one of several activities and transport operations that do not necessarily constitute a transport contract as defined and regulated in the Commercial Code. However, its provisions have become very outdated and no longer correspond to the technical, legal and economic developments of the contract of carriage. We have therefore written this article to analyze the legal texts governing it and highlight the main legal issues that arise, in particular the legal gaps and shortcomings, and we have made suggestions that the legislator could take into account in future amendments to the obligations of all parties, whether the sender, the carrier or the consignee
