Charges refunded by the carrier responsible for damage to the consignment

In addition to the payment of compensation for damage to carried goods, some transport regulations also oblige carriers to refund the carriage charges, customs duties and other charges (costs) incurred in respect of the carriage of the goods. However, these provisions do not contain a definition of “other charges incurred in respect of carriage”. Thus, in academic studies and judicature it is understood differently. The aim of the article is to present possible solutions in this respect. At the same time, the author indicates which solutions she is in favour of, presenting arguments in support of her position. Comments in this respect are preceded by an explanation of the legal nature of the claim for refund of this expenditure.
