Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air is an indispensable volume consisting of the full English text of the Montreal Convention of 1999 with detailed article-by-article annotation, including all developments to date in case law, legal literature, national and international legislation, and administrative law. After decades of controversy, a unified liability system for international carriage by air was established by the Montreal Convention of 1999, which came into force in November 2003. The legal labyrinth created by the numerous perplexing accretions that had attached themselves to the Warsaw Convention was replaced by the new convention.



What’s in this book:

The following crucial aspects of the ongoing developments have been addressed:

- applicability of the Convention;

- documents for carriage;

- liability for death or injury of passengers;

- liability for damages to baggage and cargo and for delay;

- exoneration from liability;

- carriage involving a contractual and an actual carrier;

- time limits for filing a claim and forfeiture;

- jurisdiction;

- exclusivity of the Convention versus applicability of national law; and

- insurance issues.


This unique book also features a synopsis comparing the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions, IATA Conditions and Resolutions, relevant European Union Regulations, and a list of the contracting parties to the Convention.



How this will help you:

In light of the fact that the Montreal Convention’s application during its first two decades has already documented a promising and forceful new beginning in the complex area of air transport liability, this incomparable research tool will prove to be highly informative and a guide for anyone battling legal issues arising from civil air law, including lawyers, policymakers, insurers and academics.
