La commission de transport (xvie-xxe siècle) : aux origines d’une qualification incertaine
Abstract
Today, the freight forwarder status raises some legal classification troubles. While some still attach it to the figure of the mandate, others insist on the contrary on its own particularities. These uncertainties seem to have been a difficulty for all the authors who wrote about this notion since the 16th century. Therefore, the examination of this long doctrinal controversy intends to shed light on the cause of this persistent disagreement.
