On the release of goods without Presentation of B/L in carriage of goods by sea/董刚(4)
On the other hand, B/L is the title of document. There’s one opinion that B/L represents the ownership of the goods dominated in B/L, and taking possession of B/L has the same legal validity as holding the ownership of goods.[3] The assignment of B/L means the transfer of ownership. Therefore, the carrier must release of goods with presentation of original B/L.[4] In fact, the view above distorts the implication of “title of document”. The basic feature of “title of document” is assignment without any formal assignment or any notice to debtor .It only indicates the possession, having no relationship with ownership, Rights infiltrate document, therefore it has formed the most important commercial principle that only to deliver goods to the holder of B/L, the debt will be cleared off[5]. Just as Judge Rix said: “In my judgment, a true owner cannot in the absence of some special arrangement oblige a shipowner to deliver his goods to him without presenting his bill of lading.”[6] Namely, even the true owner of goods must take delivery with original B/L.
