En particular, se aborda la problemática relativa a la naturaleza jurídica del agente de carga, y su diferenciación con el comisionista de transporte y con el transportador mismo. Esta diferenciación conceptual tiene precisas consecuencias en cuanto a la responsabilidad civil del agente de carga. Para dilucidar los interrogantes planteados en el tema del artículo, se procura diferenciar los casos en que el agente de carga actúa como un verdadero intermediario en la contratación del transporte, de aquéllos en los que se comporta como un verdadero transportador, y se formulan algunos criterios para establecer esta diferencia. En la medida en que la doctrina y la jurisprudencia nacionales son escasas en esta materia, se acude al derecho comparado para facilitar el análisis.Universidad Externado de Colombia2005text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3625802(Revista) ISSN 1692-3960Revista e-mercatoria, ISSN 1692-3960, null 4, Nº. 1, 2005, pags. 1-21spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
