In a case recently in the courts, a freight forwarding company was unable to rely on limited liability because it had mistakenly handled a consignment whilst having no contract in place with the shipper.  Because there was no contract, the logistics provider had not in fact incorporated the Standard Trading Conditions which limit the carriers liability.  The British International Freight Association, which represents the interests of the UK freight forwarding industry, has directed their advisory group to examine the implications of the case and whether it will affect the sider forwarding community.
