Lorsque le réceptionnaire d'un lot important de marchandises veut le répartir entre deux ou plusieurs commerçants auxquels il le revend par fractions, il peut, au lieu de retirer le lot et d'en opérer lui-même le scindement, demander au transporteur de lui délivrer autant d'ordres de livraison partiels qu'il y a d'acheteurs jusqu'à épuisement total de l'expédition. L'ordre de livraison correspond en quelque sorte à une coupure du connaissement correspondant à l'éclatement de la cargaison en plusieurs lots. Remis à l'acheteur d'un lot, il joue à son profit le même rôle qu'un connaissement pour la portion de la cargaison qu'il représente. Le titulaire de l'ordre de livraison peut non seulement obtenir livraison de sa marchandise à l'arrivée, mais également la négocier aux mêmes conditions que le connaissement dont il procède et agir lui-même contre le transporteur. 2, record 2, French, - ordre%20de%20livraison
