THE ENVIRONMENTAL CIVIL LIABILITY OF THE CARGO CARRIER AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL MORAL DAMAGE

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the environmental civil liability of the cargo carrier and the (im)possibility of occurrence of environmental moral damage in this type of contract. Since ancient times, the human being – a thinking animal – has needed to move and to move his objects, for his survival and that of his own. To this end, over the years, it has become necessary for Civil Law to regulate this modality of mobility through a transport contract. From this point of view, but without intending to exhaust the subject, the transport contract is focused on from the perspective of environmental law. The environmental civil liability of those who transport objects and people will be investigated, focusing on the possibility of applying, or not, environmental moral damage in such a contract.
