Boutchev v. D.H.L. International Ltd.

In Carriage of Goods by Road/Rail on (Updated )

The issue in this small claims matter was whether the Defendant courier could rely upon terms in its waybill limiting its liability. The Court found that the terms on the waybill had not been properly brought to the attention of the Plaintiff and that the totality of the terms and conditions were "neither plain nor unambiguous" and were "quite simply legal gobbledygook". In result, the Plaintiff was awarded judgment.
