Russian Client v. Chinese Carrier-Carriage Contract disputes
Under a cross-border joint carriage contract, a Russian buyer purchased a batch of large mechanical equipment from China and entrusted a Russian carrier as the first carrier. This Russian carrier then commissioned a Chinese company as a carrier, and subsequently, multiple carriers formed a joint carriage arrangement. During the transportation of the goods within Russian territory, part of the goods was damaged, resulting in a loss of approximately 3 million RMB for the buyer. The insurance company refused to compensate for the loss. Therefore, the Russian carrier initiated a lawsuit against the Chinese company carrier to claim compensation for the losses.
After accepting the entrustment, the lawyer collected evidence such as relevant records of the goods transportation, an appraisal report on the damage to the equipment, and payment vouchers for the losses. An arbitration was filed with the agreed international arbitration institution, which ultimately ruled in favor of the claimant, recovering the losses.
