Subject
- Articles 110 and 119 of the Customs Law impose a presumed liability on the warehouse investor for goods held in custody, requiring precautionary and protective measures to safeguard those goods. - Jurisprudence treats theft as not amounting to force majeure because it is foreseeable and can be addressed by appropriate safeguarding measures. - Procedurally, acceptance of a judgment for objection and appeal is a public-order matter; a judgment rendered in absentia is subject to objection, while an in-person or deemed in-person judgment is appealable under Article (223/h) of the Customs Law. - Where a judgment was entered in absentia by material error but the court records show the defendant attended a session, the judgment is treated as in-person and becomes appealable; dismissing an objection on form while denying it on the merits conflicts with the law.
Summary
The warehouse investor bears presumed responsibility for stored goods, and theft is not considered force majeure because prevention is possible. Questions about acceptance of a judgment for objection and appeal are matters of public order, and mischaracterization of a judgment’s procedural status affects appealability.
Practical significance
- Warehouse investors should enhance protective measures to reduce the risk of being held presumptively liable. - Accurate recording of session attendance and correct wording in the judgment are important, since procedural errors can change a judgment’s status and open the door to appeal. This is a general educational summary and not judicial text or legal advice.
