Comment
2.606 Condition 1 is of a common type which defines major terms used in the Conditions. The ‘‘Sender’’ is defined as the person who contracts for the services of Freightliner. That person may be the actual sender but is commonly the consignee. ‘‘It is clear that where goods are despatched by a carrier, the contract for payment of carriage is between him and the consignee, even though the goods should have been booked by the consignor; and though the property in these goods turned out afterwards to be in the consignor.’’3 This is still the inference drawn by English courts as long as the carrier, here Freightliner, is entitled to assume, as is likely to be the case, that the goods are the property of the consignee.4
