After decades of controversy, a unified liability system for international carriage by air was established by the Montreal Convention of 1999, which went into force in November 2003. The new convention replaced the legal labyrinth created by the numerous perplexing accretions that had attached themselves to the Warsaw Convention. In this indispensable volume, air law professionals will find the full English text of the Convention with detailed article-by-article annotation, including all developments to date in case law, legal literature, national and international legislation, and administrative law. The commentary covers ongoing developments in such crucial aspects as the following: 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. In addition to the article-by-article annotation, the book features such useful information as 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. Given that the Montreal Convention’s application during its first 20 years has already documented a promising and forceful new beginning in the complex area of air transport liability, this incomparable research tool will provide an enormous wealth of information and guidance for anyone who deals with legal issues arising from civil air law, including lawyers, policymakers, insurers and academics.

For fast, authoritative answers to questions of liability for international air transportation, this newly updated, enormously useful and timesaving legal resource is without peer. In one volume it provides an incomparable wealth of case law and commentary, conveniently arranged as article-by-article annotation to the Warsaw Convention. This new edition brings the case law up to 1999, and includes the all-important new judicial developments derived to date from such recent air mishaps as KAL 007, Lockerbie, TWA 800, and Swissair 111. The cases summarized and analyzed under each article come from scores of jurisdictions worldwide, with decisions that in many instances have built on case law from a number of different countries. The author's treatment encompasses the subsequent agreements and protocols that have amended the original 1929 Convention, and cites those significant minority viewpoints, both juridical and scholarly, that serve to clarify some of the more difficult issues that arise in this complex field of international law. The text used is the English (US) translation of the Convention. Appendices include the authentic original French text of the Warsaw Convention and the English (UK) translation, as well as the three official Spanish texts (Spain, Argentina, and Mexico); the official French, English, and Spanish texts of the Hague Protocol and the Guadalajara Convention; texts of the Montreal Agreement, the Guatemala Protocol, and the four Montreal Protocols; pertinent excerpts from the United States Code of Federal Regulations and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules; and up-to-date listings of parties signatory to the Warsaw instruments. A table of cases, with supplemental case citations, is also included.
