analyse

French to English Law/Patents Transport / Transportation / Shipping contract of carriage
Par laissé-pour-compte, on entend l'envoi dont le destinataire a refusé de prendre livraison pour quelque motif que ce soit et qui est laissé à la disposition du transporteur par le donneur d'ordre, lequel l'analyse en perte totale.

This is in the terms & conditions of a contract of carriage and seems to be have been lifted verbatim from the official legal text

However I just don't get what it's talking about, so any light you can shed on it for me would be most welcome.

Alain Pommet (asker) Sep 7, 2010:
Covering the carrier I was just wondering if this covers the carrier from any liability - maybe in fact the "donneur d'ordre" can get the goods back in most cases, but this is a way of absolving the carrier from any responsibility if things go wrong. These are after all the carrier's terms & conditions.
Graham macLachlan Sep 7, 2010:
hmm but surely if the goods are "laissé à la disposition du transporteur par le donneur d'ordre" the latter has washed his hands of them
Alain Pommet (asker) Sep 7, 2010:
thanks polyglot
polyglot45 Sep 7, 2010:
he treats it as a total loss in the sense that he writes it off - if afterwards another home is found for the consignment, that would be a bonus
Graham macLachlan Sep 7, 2010:
I'm sure insurance would be involved
Alain Pommet (asker) Sep 7, 2010:
At a total loss -me! Thanks for your answers. So are you all saying that the 'donneur d'ordre' just leaves the consignment in the hands of the carrier and writes it off - basically dumping it leaving the carrier to do whatever it wants with the consignment?

write-off

Hi Alain, my take from the context.

The word "analyser" does suggest "to break down" like "décomposer" which could be taken as "to enter into one's accounts"
Peer comment(s):
agree Michel F. Morin : Yes. J'étais en train de le proposer moi même !!!

In this case, my best guess is that it means that accounting-wise, it must be "recognized" as a total loss.
