On the requirements for temperature damage to frozen goods; qualified negligence when using a refrigerated vehicle without active cooling
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court has clarified: Violations of the TLMV (Trade Mark Regulations) regarding the temperature of frozen goods during transport result in a loss of marketability. The freight carrier is responsible for using a suitable refrigerated vehicle. A vehicle without active refrigeration during delays constitutes aggravated negligence and can lead to significant liability consequences.
