Data sheet
This work started as a modied casebook on the law on transportation and public utilities. The word
essentials was adopted as part of the title of the last edition to reect the fact that the work contained the
fundamental rules and jurisprudence on the same law. It reects the reality that the book cannot include all the
important details of transportation and public utilities regulations that are expressed in numerous special laws
and implementing regulations and circulars issued by administrative agencies.
Special emphasis was given to the New Civil Code provisions on Common Carriers and jurisprudence that
relates thereto. Hence, Part I of this work consists of general concepts and basic rules that apply to all types of
transportation. Unless otherwise indicated, these concepts and rules apply to transportation by land,= water,
and air. The New Civil Code provisions on Common Carriers take center-stage so to speak. Special rules that
apply to transportation by air and maritime transportation are separately discussed in Parts II and III,
respectively. The formalities of the contract of carriage, including the Code of Commerce provisions on
documents of title, are also discussed in Chapter 5. Rules on formalities that apply specically to transportation
by air are discussed in Part II. The last chapter of the rst part, Chapter 6, discusses matters relating to causes
of action and damages that may be recovered in the cases les against common carriers.
Those who are familiar with the previous edition will notice the changes in the structure of presentation of the
topics. All the topics that are part of the previous edition are still part of the present edition, although the topics
are re-arranged to provide a better framework and ow of discussion. The duty to exercise extraordinary
diligence that was previously discussed in a separate chapter is now integrated in Chapter 2 that is devoted
entirely to the obligations of the carrier. Two separate chapters are presented, Chapter 3 on obligations of the
shippers and passengers, and Chapter 4 on defenses of the common carriers in court actions. Three separate
chapters on air transportation are now discussed ahead of maritime law (Chapters 7, 8, and 9) in view of the
prominent role of air transportation even to ordinary individuals. These chapters include a new separate
chapter containing a more comprehensive discussion of the rules and jurisprudence on the Warsaw
Convention.
All chapters contain additional discussions, cases and/or citations. The additional materials include a discussion
of the Warsaw Convention mentioned earlier, a new section on transportation by train in Chapter 2 and a more
extensive discussion of Public Service Regulations in Chapters 21 and 22.
The authors hope that the present work will be a better guide for students of transportation and public utilities
law.
