第4题:
材料:
Some older decisions have held that the carrier,in order to rebut the presumption of liability resulting from the arrival in damaged condition of GOODs shipped undamaged,must prove not only that the loss or damage was caused by one of the excepted perils,but also that the harm did not result from any negligence on the carrier&39;s part.
Most more recent decisions and authors,however,uphold the view that,in general,the carrier may rebut the claimant&39;s prima facie case simply by proving that the loss was caused by an excepted peril.At that point,the onus switches to the cargo claimant to prove that the true cause of the loss was the carrier&39;s negligence.
Nevertheless certain Hague and Hague/Visby Rules exceptions,expressly or implicitly,also require the carrier to negative its own negligence in proving the exception itself.For example,a clause in the said rules expressly imposes on the carrier the burden of proving that the loss or damage occurred without its actual fault or privity and without any fault or neglect on the part of its servants or agents.
The carrier,however,must truly prove the existence of one or more of the exceptions and their causative role in respect of the loss or damage.Conjectures and speculation do not take the place of hard evidence.A court has held:“Mere speculation will not overcome the prima facie evidence of a clean bill of lading”.
问题:

A.it is proved that he has privity to the loss or damage

C.it is too onerous for him to demonstrate that the loss or damage is caused by what is beyond his control
D.if there are conjectures and speculation
In accordance with old decisions,the carrier will not be excused unless he has proved that _______.A.not only the loss or damage was caused by one of the excepted perils,but also that the harm did not result from any negligence on the his part
B.the loss or damage was caused by one of the excepted perils
C.the harm did not result from any negligence on his part
D.there are conjectures and speculation

B.the loss or damage was caused by one of the excepted perils
C.the harm did not result from any negligence on his part
D.there are conjectures and speculation
It is concluded that _______.A.The carrier is not in a position to prove the loss or damage is substantially caused by one or more of the excepted perils
B.It can not be decided that whether the carrier has to prove the loss or damage is substantially caused by one or more of the excepted perils because there are some differences between the decisions and authors and requirements of Hague and Hague/Visby Rules
C.The carrier does not have to prove the loss or damage is substantially caused by one or more of the excepted perils due to the fact that there are some differences between the decisions and authors and requirements of Hague and Hague/Visby Rules
D.The carrier must truly prove the loss or damage is substantially caused by one or more of the excepted perils even there are some differences between the decisions and authors and requirements of Hague and Hague/Visby Rules

第15题:
材料:
The fact that the GOODs were damaged raises a prima facie case of negligence which can only be cleared by the carrier by showing what actually occurred. For example,a ship carried grain on MS Great Lakes to a port where it was stored aboard the ship under a special storage contract for 22 days after which it was discovered to be wet.Rough weather during the voyage was alleged but the Court insisted on strict proof of how and when the rough weather caused the wetting.
Therefore,to rebut the presumption of fault when relying upon its own reasonable care,the carrier must further prove that the damage was caused by something other than its own negligence.Once the shipper establishes a prima facie case,under“the policy of the law”the carrier must“explain what took place or suffer the consequences”.The law casts upon the carrier the burden of the loss which it cannot explain or,explaining,bring within the exception case in which he is relieved from liability.
