88 159 - As long as the extent of any damage to the settlement centre has not been established, the 1 resettler with the damaged removal property may only make the necessary changes to his rescue and maintenance. In the event of imminent or imminent danger, he is obliged to rescue and maintain, as he is also obliged to comply with any orders of the resolution authorities in these cases. At the time of arrival of the wagon at the place of destination, it shall first be determined whether the seals of the carriage are empty or whether it is necessary to conclude from the external nature of the train that a transport accident has occurred. If the wagon or its seal is to cause external complaints, the responsible goods handling shall be taken into account without delay. The same is the case if, after opening an uncontested carriage, it appears that the circumstances of the transfer of the goods loaded in the wagon must be such that the condition is due to heavy shunting shocks or if the loading of the wagon does not correspond with the loading list recorded at the loading station. The event shall be taken up by the receiving forwarder or the person otherwise responsible for the handling of the transport. If a receiving forwarding agent or an commissioned person is not present, the resettler shall himself be obliged to take the event. The event must be submitted to the competent resolution authority immediately. If transport from the wagon by a freight forwarder is carried out, the individual resettler shall be held to determine, on the basis of his loading list, whether the delivered items correspond to his loading lists. If a piece is missing, he shall have the missing item confirmed by the freight forwarding agent on delivery on his loadinglist. The same procedure shall be applied if the condition of the moving goods causes damage. If, after proper transfer of the items listed in the loading list, the individual resettler finds a loss or damage to those items, or in the possession of boxes, collis or collection containers, he shall notify the settlement office of the damage detected by detaining credible witnesses. The resolution authorities have the right to have the facts examined by a person to be determined by them. The settlement agent must prove the damage in accordance with the reason and the amount. The resolution bodies are entitled to demand proof of a damage by witness statements, supporting documents or other credible proof. In order to be able to claim damage, the transferee must submit a damage calculation to the settlement authority and obtain the evidence and evidence required by it, e.g. invoices, receipts, cost estimates, etc., as it is also required to submit its loading list to its request. If an agreement has not been reached with the resettler on the amount of the damage, the German resettlement-Treuhand-Gefellschaft m. b. H. will have the damage determined by an arbitration board and will have it decided on. The arbitration panel will decide on the payment of the costs of the arbitration.
