Decisione estratta
The parties had actually agreed on a carriage contract; the CMR applied.

Based on the FIATA Bill of Lading and the freight invoice, the cantonal court found a true mutual will to conclude a freight contract, a finding binding on appeal. The CMR applies to international road carriage contracts and is a consensual contract without formal requirements.
