Liabilities changed by small updates to latest RHA conditions of carriage
The latest version of the RHA conditions of carriage (2020) were released last year, effective 1 September. Now the TT Club
has highlighted changes to three clauses in particular: protecting a carriers’ obligations if delays in transit result from
the customer’s omission, clarifying the issue of liabilities for loading and unloading cargo from the vehicle, and providing
a useful definition of “commencement of transit” with its implications on liability in the event of damage or loss prior to
that point.
