ELLUL NOEL NOE ET vs VELLA FRANCIS NOE - 53/1993/1 - OF APPEAL (CIVIL, SUPERIOR), MALTA

CMR CONVENTION, WRITTEN CLAIM - PRESKRIZZJONI, APPLIKAZZJONI RESTRITTIVA

L-eccezzjoni tal-preskrizzjoni, ghalkemm rikonoxxuta bhala mehtiega biex tassigura illi l-azzjoni tigi ezercitata entro terminu stabbilit biex id-drittijiet u l-obbligi tal-kontenenti jigu debitamentaccertati, kienet minnha nnifisha odjuza u kellha allura tigi applikata restrittivament.

L-Art. 32 tal-Convention for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR Convention) jipprovdi illi"A written claim shall suspend the period of limitation until such date as the carrier rejects theclaim by notification in writing and returns the documents attached thereto."

Filwaqt li jidher li hu mahsub li "a written claim" ikollha id-dokumenti kollha relattivi n-nuqqas ta' dawn id-dokumenti ma jgibx in-nullita' ad validitatem tal-claim.

Madanakollu "written claim" kien jimporta talba definittiva tad-danneggjat bazata fuq ic-certezza tal-fatt tal-hsara subita. It-termini kellhom ikunu kategorici u l-partijiet kellhom ikunu konkordi fuq daqshekk.
