Abstract

Freight forwarders are key players in the global and multimodal market of services for the transport of goods. Contrary to our neighbouring countries, Spain lacks regulation of the contract between the freight forwarder and its principal. Additionally, both articles 275 and 379 Code of Commerce, usually applicable to freight forwarders, are of seldom use here. The first one, because it is not contemplating freight forwarding activities. The second one because it addresses a different issue: the role of contracting carriers. The legal confusion among us has been increased simultaneously by a misleading and late scientific approach to the role of freight forwarders. It is about time, then, to remind we are in debt with this figure and, should the interested parties agree, to propose a debate based on the need to revise our legal system in this field.
