  • The Legal Nature of the Freight Forwarding Contract: Foreign Experience and Russian Understandingissue 4/2022 · Bulat Karimov · 3 January 2023The article is devoted to establishing the legal nature of the freight forwarding contract. For this purpose, the author analyses the economic nature of the said contract, its subject matter and liability for its breach. In addition, the article provides foreign experience of regulation of the said institute in the legal orders of England, Germany and France. The author compares some aspects of the legal concept of the freight forwarding in Russia and in the legal orders mentioned above.

The result of this approach is that a rather large number of binding relations may be covered by the definition of the freight forwarding. This, in turn, may lead to adverse consequences for the legal order and civil turnover since, under Russian law, the freight forwarder’s liability is limited.
