Artikel 35

1. After the goods’ arrival at the place designated for delivery, the bearer of the consignment bill shall be entitled to require the carrier to deliver the goods against surrender of the consignment bill, in which the delivery is confirmed, and against payment of all amounts due according to the contract of carriage. However, the carrier must not deliver the goods to the bearer of the consignment bill if he is aware, or unaware through gross negligence, that the bearer of the consignment bill is not the person entitled to claim under the consignment bill.
2. If the carrier delivers the goods to a party other than the bearer of the consignment bill or, in the cases covered in paragraph 1 of this Article, sentence 2, to a party other than the person entitled to claim under the consignment bill, then the carrier shall be liable for the resulting damage suffered by the person entitled to claim under the consignment bill. The liability shall be limited to the amount which would have been payable if the goods have been lost.
3. If delivery cannot be performed according to the contract of carriage because the consignment bill is not presented to the carrier, the carrier shall ask for instructions from the person entitled to claim under the consignment bill. If the carrier cannot obtain lawful and reasonable instructions within a reasonable time, he shall take measures according to Article 18, paragraph 2, but without the right to return the goods to the consignor.
