  • Claim

    One of the ways to resolve controversial situation arising during the transportation of goods is to forward the claim to the counterparty.
    The need to file a claim may be established by law or contract.

    1. Submitting a claim is required by law

      Civil Code of the Russian Federation in Art. 797 establishes that before filing a claim against the carrier arising from the transportation of goods, it is mandatory to present a claim to him in the manner prescribed by the relevant transport charter or code.
      According to Art. 39 of the UAT of the Russian Federation, before claims are brought against carriers arising from contracts for the carriage of goods, claims must be made against such persons. The right to make claims against carriers and charterers in a pre-trial manner are persons who have entered into contracts of carriage, charter agreements, consignees, as well as insurers who have paid insurance compensation in connection with the improper fulfillment by carriers and charterers of their obligations for the transportation of passengers and luggage, cargo, and the provision of transport means for transporting passengers, luggage and cargo. The procedure for filing claims is established by the rules for the transportation of passengers and the rules for the transportation of goods.

      7. last name, first name and patronymic, position of the person who signed the claim, his signature certified by the seal.
      The claim is drawn up in two copies, one of which is sent to the carrier (freighter), and the other remains with the person who filed the claim

      In accordance with Art. 12 of the Federal Law “On Transport Forwarding Activities”, before filing a claim with the freight forwarder arising from a transport expedition agreement, it is mandatory to file a claim with the freight forwarder, with the exception of filing a claim when providing forwarding services for personal, family, household and other needs not related to the client’s business activity. activities.
      The client or a person authorized by him to file a claim and claim, the recipient of the cargo specified in the transport expedition agreement, as well as the insurer who has acquired the right of subrogation have the right to present a claim and claim to the forwarder.
      The claim must be submitted in writing. A claim for loss, shortage or damage (spoilage) of cargo must be accompanied by documents confirming the right to file a claim, and documents confirming the quantity and value of the cargo sent, in the original or duly certified copies thereof.
      Claims against the freight forwarder can be filed within six months from the date the right to file a claim arose. The specified period is calculated in relation to:

      1. compensation for losses for loss, shortage or damage (spoilage) of cargo from the day following the day on which the cargo should be delivered;
      2. compensation for losses caused to the client by violation of the deadline for fulfilling obligations under the transport expedition contract, from the day following the last day of validity of the contract, unless otherwise determined by the parties;
      3. violation of other obligations arising from the transport expedition agreement, from the day when the persons specified in paragraph 2 of this article learned or should have learned about such violations.

    2. The claim procedure is provided for in the contract

      As a rule, such a procedure is prescribed in the section of the contract containing possible cases of disagreements and ways to resolve them. The parties to the contract determine independently how clearly and in detail the procedure for pre-trial dispute resolution should be prescribed.
      The contract must establish a clear procedure for the actions that the counterparty must perform before going to court (time limits for filing and considering a claim, documents to be submitted with the claim, etc.). The requirements presented in the claim must be clearly formulated and justified.
      The claim should indicate:

      1. name of the person (legal entity/individual entrepreneur) to whom the claim is addressed;
      2. the name of the person from whom the claim is being sent, indicating the exact postal address, means of communication (telephone, fax, etc.), and payment details;
      3. claim number and date;
      4. documents (with details) on which the relations of the parties are based: for example, a contract of carriage, an application, waybills, etc.;
      5. clauses of the contract, the violation of which caused the filing of a claim
      6. the requirements of the person submitting the claim (must be stated clearly). The claim should warn about subsequent recourse to court in case of failure to satisfy the claim or failure to consider it in the prescribed manner or on time;
      7. legislation in accordance with which the person making the claim substantiates his claims;
      8. amount of claims with calculation;
      9. a list of attached documents substantiating the claim (or a reference must be made that the addressee has all the documents for consideration of the claim, in which case the specified documents should be listed).
      The claim is signed by the head of the organization making the claim (individual entrepreneur) or an authorized person. Often the claim is sent by fax/email. But it is advisable to submit a claim by registered mail or hand over against receipt. At the same time, even when sending a claim by registered mail, the risk remains that the counterparty will declare that the letter contained blank sheets. In this regard, when sending a claim, an inventory of the attachments should be made, and when delivering the claim against receipt, it is necessary for the counterparty to mark that he received the claim and its attachments in full. When sending a claim by letter, you can send the counterparty by fax/e-mail a copy of the claim, postal receipt and list of attachments. The person who sent the claim must have a copy of the claim and documents confirming its sending: a receipt for sending the letter (with acknowledgment of delivery), a postal notification, a note from the counterparty on receipt of the claim materials with the incoming number, date, seal (stamp), signature official on another copy of the claim. The above actions will avoid additional disputes regarding the fact and date of filing the claim. If the mandatory procedure for filing a claim is established by law or contract, the claim can be filed only after the plaintiff complies with the claim procedure for resolving the dispute. What happens if a claim is filed without first filing a claim? In this situation, the dispute is not considered by the arbitration court, and the statement of claim is left without consideration (clause 2, clause 1, article 148 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation).
