Abstract

The concept of latent defect has always been of special interest in the law of carriage of goods by sea but the detection of damages resulting from a latent defect is not an easy task and in practice there are several obstacles. The present paper by studying the judicial precedent tries to introduce a definition of latent defect, distinguishes this concept from similar concepts, and determine its scope of application within the field of carrier’s liabilities. The paper suggests that the definition and the scope of latent defect stands in favor of Reasonableness of Responsibilities of carrier’s liability compared to other bases of liability. The present paper by studying the judicial precedent tries to introduce a definition of latent defect, distinguishes this concept from similar concepts, and determine its scope of application within the field of carrier’s liabilities. The paper suggests that the definition and the scope of latent defect stands in favor of Reasonableness of Responsibilities of carrier’s liability compared to other bases of liability.
