What’s transport law?

Transport law is a complex field. Indeed, it covers both movement of goods and people regulated by legal texts. Those flux can be national or international. It covers land, air, rail, river and sea transport, as well as public transport. The transport law implements:

  • To transport operators: airlines, land transport, ferry boats companies, rail companies, etc.;
  • To clients and intermediaries: tickets reseller, online booking websites, tour operators, etc.

The sources of conflicts may involve different ways of transport and refer to several internal and international conventions.
Here are just a few examples of disputes where the services of a lawyer specialising in transport law are crucial: personal injury during a trip, damaged goods, collective accident, reimbursement linked to a transport service..
