The Polish Supreme Court held that the CMR Convention does not regulate the issue of the currency of compensation. On the other hand, in the case of compensation due from the freight forwarder, it is accepted that the currency of compensation is the currency of the contract. The latter two theses of the Polish Supreme Court must be criticised, although the in casu decision itself must be agreed with.
