Understanding the complexities of delivery delays is a crucial aspect of transport and logistics law. Internationally, the CMR Convention plays a pivotal role in governing liability for delivery delays in cross-border transport. This convention establishes a framework for assessing the carrier's responsibility and the resulting compensation in case of delays. However, within the European Union, it's essential to recognize that each member state may have distinct national regulations for domestic transport, in which case the CMR does not apply. These divergent rules can significantly impact the legal landscape and potential outcomes for delay-related claims. Thus, understanding both the CMR Convention and the unique national provisions within EU member states is paramount when addressing issues of delivery delay in the realm of transport and logistics.
