Ugovorna odgovornost skladištara

Abstract

U ovom radu se razmatra odgovornost skladištara za gubitak i oštećenje robe tokom uskladištenja. Iako je većinsko shvatanje u srpskoj pravnoj teoriji da je ugovorna odgovornost skladištara objektivna, autor navodi više argumenata u prilog njegove de lege lata subjektivne odgovornosti. Iako postoje opravdani razlozi da odgovornost skladištara de lege ferenda bude objektivna, na osnovu analize odredbe Zakona o obligacionim odnosima o oslobođenju skladištara od odgovornosti ne može se doneti nesumnjiv zaključak da skladištar odgovara objektivno, odnosno bez obzira na svoju krivicu. Osim Zakona o obligacionim odnosima, autor razmatra i odredbe drugih zakona koji regulišu ovo pitanje. Rad sadrži i analizu uporednog prava kako bi se uvidelo kakva je regulativa ovog pitanja u stranom zakonodavstvu i da li ono može poslužiti kao uzor prilikom eventualnih izmena našeg zakonskog teksta.

In this paper the author analyzes liability of warehousekeeper for loss of or damage to goods in the course of storage. Although there is a majority opinion in Serbian legal doctrine that the contractual liability of warehousekeeper is strict one, the author makes several arguments in favor of his de lege lata fault-based liability. Despite the fact that there are justifiable reasons for strict liability of the warehousekeeper de lege ferenda, on the basis of the analysis of the provisions of Serbian Law of Contracts and Torts (Law on Obligations) on warehousekeeper's exemption from contractual liability, no indisputable conclusion can be drawn that the warehousekeeper's liability is strict one, i.e. no-fault liability. In addition to the provisions of the Law on Obligations, the author also considers the provisions of other Serbian laws that regulate this issue. This paper also contains an analysis of comparative law in order to observe the regulation of this issue in foreign countries' law and make the conclusion whether comparative law could serve as a model for any amendments of Serbian legislation.
