Thieves, Not Staff To Blame For Burberry Loss, Haulers Say

In a recent legal development, hauling companies have argued that thieves, not their staff, are responsible for Burberry's financial losses. The case, covered by Law360, highlights a dispute where the transport firms claim that external criminal activity, not employee negligence or dishonesty, led to the disappearance of Burberry goods. The haulers are seeking to absolve themselves of liability by pointing to theft as the primary cause. This argument could have significant implications for liability in supply chain security incidents.
