NEGOTIATION OF A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN A SHIPPER AND BROKER IN RELATION TO THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT OF MERCHANDISE

The transport team counselled and assisted a French supplier of merchandise doing business abroad following serious damage caused by several road haulage contractors and causing the shipper to sustain substantial commercial injury in regard to its foreign customer.

The team negotiated the terms of a settlement providing compensation above the CMR thresholds and standard enforceable contracts, whilst preserving its geographical market in the sector where the recipient of the merchandise did business.
