Page 559 - Claims for loss, damage, or delay must be made in writing to the carrier at the point of delivery or at the point of origin within four months after delivery of the property, or, in case of failure to make delivery, then within four months after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed.

Page 464 - The proximate cause is the efficient cause, the one that necessarily sets the other causes in operation.
