Practice question
Goods arrive at the carrier's destination warehouse. The consignee has not been advised of arrival or given reasonable opportunity to remove or dispose of them. The carrier says arrival alone necessarily ended extraordinary responsibility. What does Article 1738 provide?
- Destination arrival always ends responsibility immediately.
- The consignee becomes the carrier's employee.
- The responsibility continues during the stated warehouse period until the statutory notice and reasonable-opportunity conditions are met.
- Warehouse custody is always legally irrelevant.
- Only a foreign insurer can be responsible.
