To provide for a solution, the draft starts to state in this paragraph that the bill of lading holder is entitled, but not obliged, to take delivery against presentation of the bill of lading.

However, if the bill of lading holder cannot be traced (in which event the shipper has to instruct the carrier about the delivery), it may be expected that the bill of lading will not be presented.

The one is the event that there is a bill of lading holder who acquired the bill of lading after delivery was made by the carrier, but pursuant to a contractual arrangement other than the contract of carriage and made before delivery.

The general view was that the problem of delivery without presentation of a bill of lading deserves a solution.

A draft order has been submitted concerning control of the electronic means of preparing and filing the prior bill of lading.

Then, the question arises what rights are connected to such bill of lading after delivery of the goods by the carrier.

In addition, it was said that written notice was both difficult to define and, if it were given in the bill of lading, it could cause difficulties when the bill of lading was repeatedly transferred, such that the ultimate holder might be forced to litigate in a location far away.

(a) The Directorate General of Customs has designed a software application for the prior bill of lading, which will be launched shortly.

That party is protected and may rely on the contents of the bill of lading, including the right of delivery of the goods.

In particular, common carriage transactions in non liner trades in which a bill of lading is issued should continue to be governed by the draft instrument.

Trade practices have weakened the bill of lading system and an attempt for repair should be made, in the interest of the carriers as well as the cargo side.

When the bill of lading is not available at the place of destination of the goods, or the bill of lading holder does not want to take delivery, the same principle as under the previous article applies it is the primary duty of the controlling party to take care that the carrier will be able to perform his obligation under the contract of carriage to deliver the goods.

The other situation is that of an 'innocent' party, someone who did not have or could reasonably not have knowledge of the delivery, has acquired the bill of lading in good faith.

Some reservations were raised with respect to the conditions, such as the timing of the notice, and of its effectiveness if it were included in a bill of lading that arrived after the cargo.

The problem here is with the negotiable bill of lading. This document provides security to its holder by granting it the exclusive right to take delivery of the goods at the place of destination.

The inactive consignee, such as a bank holding a bill of lading as security, is under no obligation to take delivery itself, but may have to take action under article 48 or 49.

A typical example of such person is an intermediate buyer in a string of buyers and sellers where the bill of lading goes too slowly through the string to be available in time at the place of destination.

The contract should not be a carrier's public schedule of prices and services, a bill of lading, transport document, electronic record, or cargo receipt or similar document but the contract may incorporate such documents by reference as elements of the contract.

In order to reduce any suspicion that may arise concerning the operation, the middleman provides government authorities (ports, customs) and banks with copies of transportation documents (bill of lading, cargo manifest, etc.) and invoices, using the information and descriptions mentioned above, to demonstrate the legitimacy of the procedure.

And it provides security to the carrier that, if it delivers the goods to the bill of lading holder, the carrier is discharged from its obligation to deliver. However, these key functions of the document can only be fulfilled if it is available at the place of destination.

On the occasion of that colloquium, a majority of speakers acknowledged that existing national laws and international conventions left significant gaps regarding issues such as the functioning of a bill of lading and a seaway bill, the relationship of those transport documents to the rights and obligations between the seller and the buyer of the goods and the legal position of the entities that provided financing to a party to a contract of carriage.

If such intermediate buyer becomes a bill of lading holder after the carrier has delivered the goods to the final buyer, he has no right to delivery any more, but may have acquired a right to sue the carrier if there is a liability of the carrier for loss or damage to the goods.

As a practical matter, multimodal bills of lading in current usage commonly identify the intended ports of loading and discharge.

The Presidency of the Republic sent the Bill (Bill 3627 2004) to the National Congress for its approval.

So here is Bill of Arabia.

They eye of a dollar bill?

The bill, please.

Here's the bill.

The Legislature refused the proposal for an extension, overrode the Governor's veto on the primary spending bill and passed a new secondary spending bill (Bill 376), which was essentially the same as the earlier secondary spending bill but with the exclusion of some of the more controversial appropriations.

Bill brought me a glass of water.

Three Bills were introduced in Parliament to facilitate the implementation of these directives. These were the Equal Treatment Bill, Equal Treatment in Employment (Age Discrimination) Bill and the Equal Treatment of Disabled and Chronically Ill People Bill.

There's Bill Easterly's book.

The Bill Gates song!

Is Bill Gates here?

No bill ever disappeared.

Bill was in Japan.

Bill has many friends.

Bill has many friends.

Here is your bill.

I'll pay the bill.

Bill, open the door.

I paid the bill.

Here is the bill.

Waiter, the bill please.

Following that, the bill returned to the Legislature, which, unable to override the Governor's veto, passed a split budget with the most critical agencies being dealt with in a primary spending bill (Bill 363) and the Legislature, Governor's Office and several other agencies and programmes being dealt with in a secondary spending bill (Bill 364).
