Relationship between the Charter party and Bills of Lading
{"Image DocumentName": "Relationship between the Charter party and Bills of Lading", "Image ImageDescription": "Which is the governing contract of carriage-The Charter Party or the Bill of Lading? However since the Bill of Lading is also a contract of carriage of goods a potential conflict arises between the two contracts. It would be commercial nonsense for there to be two contracts between the same two parties for the carriage of the same goods on the same voyage. Accordingly the law has adopted a common sense approach and has held that when a bill of lading is held by a party who already has a charterparty contract with the person who is the carrier under the bill of lading ,the bill is to be treated as a receipt and a document of title-but not as a contract of carraige.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
