Representation in relation to remuneration under forwarding contract despite the lack of written evidence of the contract

The lawyers from the law firm represented a forwarding company in connection with non-payment of the agreed remuneration by the consignor, the latter also contesting the provision of the service. A specific feature in this case was the lack of orders signed by a person with representing authority. Our lawyers were able to prove the assignment and its execution through a complex relation of commissioning and acceptance of the work by implicit consent and lack of explicit opposition – both regarding the loading of the goods and their acceptance by the addressee in accordance with the provisions of the Commerce Act and by the existence of a contract of sale of such goods of the assignor of the service and the recipient of the goods.
