| Research Abstract |
The problem to struggle with in this study was whether third parties in a contract of carriage of goods such as consignee and owner of the goods would be subject to contract terms that they haven't agreed or not. For the research, the following three methods were applied in order to follow up on the latest legal situation in the foreign countries, and to make clear the actual circumstance of transport activities before insisting on the specificity of the contract of carriage of goods:
(1) Comparative law
(2) Case Study and
(3) Survey on the actual situation of each transport industry
What became clear from these works was that there were different types of “third parties” in the contract of carriage of goods. Some third parties should be structurally subject to contract terms, while some should not be involved into contractual circle in spite of the text of law.
