ALGUNAS CONSIDERACIONES EN TORNO AL CONTRATO DE TRANSPORTE MARÍTIMO BAJO RÉGIMEN DE CONOCIMIENTO DE EMBARQUE CHILENO DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DEL NUEVO DERECHO DE LA CONTRATACIÓN

Abstract

The new Contract Law that has emerged from the CISG has meant a change in the way of conceiving the contract, the breach and the way of structuring the contract remedies in case of breach. In this way, the modern doctrine has made its efforts to prove that the rules of the new Contract Law can be applied in Chile and, therefore, the remedies in case of contract breach are also applicable. In this context, the present work aims to analyze the Chilean maritime transportation contract under the Bill of Lading regime from the perspective of the new Contract Law and to examine how this new conception influences the notion of breach and the remedies in case of contract breach, emphasizing the compensation remedy.
