Abstract
This article provides an update and a short summary of the amendments to the German standard terms and conditions for freight forwarding. It is based on an article written in German by Rechtsanwälte Detlef Neufang and Hubert Valder, which was published in the journal Transportrecht (‘ADSp 2017: Wieder gemeinsames Vertragswerk’ (2017) TranspR 45–52), and was adapted in English for publication as a chapter in S. Lamont-Black, D. R. Thomas (eds), Current issues in freight forwarding: law and logistics (Lawtext Publishing Limited, Oxon, 2017) reproduced here with their kind permission. The original article gives insights into the new framework from the viewpoints of the two negotiating positions of forwarders and shippers/traders and has a detailed analysis and explanation of the amendments. This translation provides a short and abbreviated overview of the development and content of the ADSp 2017 for the international reader.
