Abstract
This chapter discusses the extent and reach of the carrier’s lien under English and German law and evaluate the reach of the carrier’s rights by virtue of the law as well as his ability to secure his position contractually. Before diving into this comparison, the carrier’s lien is briefly distinguished from other forms of lien and popular standard form carrier’s lien clauses are set out in order to pave the ground for the following discussion of the two different legal systems. Since the approaches of the systems are different the comparison focuses on offering the themes relevant for an evaluation, while relating the structure in so doing to the particular system under discussion.
