This article attempts to address some of the ways the CMR Convention 1956 removes some of the legal uncertainty and blind spots from the whole endeavour of Transporting Goods by Road. It outlines the methods used in Road Transport for allocating liability,locating the most probable point in time when any Loss and/or Damage occured to the Goods in Transit. The article also, briefly, introduces the reader to the rather complex business of making a claim for damages and the time limit for initiating proceedings.

Keywords: Legal Certainty, CMR Convention, Loss and/or Damage, Consignor/Sender/Shipper, CMR Consignment Note, Waybill, Contract of Carriage, Special Drawing Rights, Total Loss, Claim, Receiver/Consignee
