Implication

Qualitative analysis assesses liability challenges for freight forwarders in Cameroon, highlighting legal ambiguities.

Key Points

  • Freight forwarders in Cameroon are generally liable for cargo loss or damage, which can be limited or excluded by contract.
  • Liability is shaped by fragmented legislation and inconsistent industry practices, creating uncertainty for stakeholders.
  • The qualitative analysis utilized both primary sources, including laws and case law, and secondary sources like journal articles.
  • Harmonizing liability standards with international conventions could enhance clarity and effectiveness in dispute resolution.
