The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the lower court's decision dismissing the client's claim for damages against the transit agent. The facts show a partial load transport between Matosinhos and London where delivery was agreed earlier but occurred seven days later without the client's knowledge. The court ruled that this delay fell within the reasonable time expected for a diligent carrier, finding no contractual breach or liability for indemnification.

SUMÁRIO

Não há incumprimento contratual nem dever de indemnizar o cliente, por parte do agente transitário quando, no transporte de mercadorias por via terrestre entre Matosinhos e Londres, com carregamento parcial, cuja entrega, na capital inglesa, fora, sem intervenção nem conhecimento dele, acordada entre o cliente e destinatária para data anterior à que veio a ocorrer na efectiva entrega, e quando a viagem demorou 7 dias, tempo que está dentro do prazo que seria razoável exigir a um transportador diligente.
