Workshop B

Inland Transport

Inland transport is generally performed by road, railway and, in some cases, inland waterways. Among these modes of transport, the most common is road transport.

Inland transport and especially domestic inland transport are, in many cases, regulated by national laws which may contain potential traps and pitfalls for lawyers, who is not from the jurisdiction in question, either with respect to the contractual side and the liability of the carrier or with respect to the regulatory side and the right of a carrier to pursue its business and to access foreign markets.

The aim of this workshop is to provide an overview of select issues in relation to liability regimes for domestic road carriage of goods and in relation to regulatory regimes for a carrier’s right to pursue its business and to access foreign markets.
