114 C 179/12Tribunale di primo grado15 gen 2013Diritto civileRespinto
Estratto da Omnilex
The plaintiff sought compensation for the loss of a writing instrument sent in a letter. The Bonn Local Court dismissed the claim, applying the rules on carrier liability and exclusion of liability under HGB §§ 425 and 427(1)(2). It held that claims for loss of the contents were excluded where an item other than documents was sent in a letter and the envelope did not separately identify its contents. The plaintiff was ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings. The judgment was declared provisionally enforceable.
HGB §§ 425, 427 Abs. 1 Nr. 2; loss of contents sent in a letter: Where an item other than documents is tendered for dispatch in a letter, claims for loss of the contents are excluded at least where the envelope does not separately identify what it contains. The absence of a distinct indication of the contents is material to the carrier’s liability for loss.
