Abstract
In this paper, the author refers to the problem of the transmission of risks due to the fortuitous loss the goods—in—transit debt in the purchase and sale contracts. This work is based in a description of the comparative law solutions to the topic, starting from the Roman law, and being summed up in the different formu- las that in several of the codes to the civil law family, and the common law family. Opening from the conceptual bases to those that arrives after having described the main solutions in comparative law, the author starts the study of the figure in the Colombian law, in the Civil Code and the Commercial Code, as and in the United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sales of Goods.
