The appellant denied the allegations, relying on the terms of the said contract. The learned Judge preferred the respondent\rquote s story. Hence this appeal. \par \par The facts, briefly, are that the respondent was a frequent passenger on the appellant\rquote s airline from Dubai to Entebbe and vice versa. On 30-01-2003, armed with a return air ticket to Dubai, the respondent checked in his luggage weighing 56 kilograms, on flight No. KQ413H and KQ310H. He}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid9054626\charrsid9054626 , however}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 , did no t declare any special value for the baggage, nor did he pay any sums over and above that indicated on the ticket for the said special value of the baggage. \par \par On arrival back at Entebbe, the respondent\rquote s baggage was found to be missing. At the request of t he appellant, the respondent filled in a property irregularity form, informing the appellant that he had not retrieved his luggage; it was missing. The appellant took steps to try and locate the missing luggage. Arrangements were made to fly him to Nai r obi in an effort to trace the missing luggage. It was, however, irretrievably lost. The appellant thus offered to compensate the respondent in the sum of US. $ 1120, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated on the Air ticket, under the Warsaw Convention, which is US $ 20 per kilogram lost, for }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid9054626\charrsid9054626 the 56}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 kgs. \par \par The respondent declined the offer and opted to file a suit seeking U$ 17963 as the value of the goods lost together with U$ 150 additional cost for the flight to Nairobi, with general damages and costs. \par \par The appellant denied liability beyond the limit of US $ 1120. \par The learned Judge held that the appellant\rquote s liability was not limited as claimed and ordered it to pay US $ 17,963 to the respondent as prayed. \par \par \par \par The memorandum of appeal is dated 30-06-05 and comprises the following grounds: \par {\pntext\pard\plain\ltrpar \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0

In support of this submission learned counsel relied on }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\fs24\ul\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 Ethiopian Airlines v Olowu Motunrola Court of Appeal Civil Appeal No. 30 of 2005}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 , where this court held that in the absence of any special declaration of excess baggage, the airline \rquote s liability for lost baggage was limited to US$ 20 per kg under the Warsaw Convention. Similarly, in this case, the respondent never d eclared any excess baggage nor its value at checking in and no additional sum was ever paid to her. Mr. Katende submitted that the compensation the respondent was entitled to was limited to what was stated under the Warsaw Convention. \par \par Concerning notice of this limitation to the respondent, learned counsel pointed out that the respondent being a frequent flier ought to have been aware of the information on the ticket. Ignorance of the law is no defence. He was not entitled to the Illiterates Protection A ct (cap 78) as claimed by his counsel in the lower court and agreed by the court. He cited }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\fs24\ul\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 Thompson v London Midland & Scottish Railway Co (1930) 1KB 41}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 , where the railway company was held not liable for the injury to an illiterate passenger because limitat ion of liability was clearly stated in the ticket. Inability to read the ticket was irrelevant. Mr. Katende submitted that the appellant was not an illiterate within the meaning of the Illiterate Protection Act (cap 78) and nor was the Airlines ticket s uch a document as envisaged by the Act. It was never prepared for the respondent for use, in this trial, as evidence. Mr. Katende further contended that there was no wilful loss of the respondent\rquote s luggage as stipulated under article 25 so as to deprive t he appellant of the protection. The duty lay on the respondent to show that the appellant wilfully and intentionally lost his luggage. This the respondent failed to do. The appellant was therefore entitled to rely on article 22(2) of the Warsaw Conven tion which limits liability. \par \par Regarding the special damages claimed and awarded, Mr. Katende pointed out that these were not strictly proved. The receipts for the goods tendered in were of no probative value as they were never made in the names of the respondent. \par Concerning the general damages awarded, learned counsel reiterated that the appellant\rquote s liability was limited by the Warsaw Convention. The appellant was ready and willing to compensate the respondent up to U$ 1120. There had been no need to file this suit. The money had been deposited in court before the suit. Mr. Katende prayed court to allow the appeal with costs. \par \par Mr. Brian Othieno, learned counsel for the respondent, opposed the appeal, submitting that the learned Judge did not err to find that the appellant\rquote s liability was not limited under the provisions of the Warsaw Convention. Citing Articles 4(1) and (4) of the Warsaw Convention, the learned counsel argued that no luggage ticket was issued to the respondent as required under 4(1) in which case article 22 would not be available to the appellant. He pointed out that }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \'93The baggage check\'94 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 relied on was only relevant in the Warsaw Convention as amended at the Hague. Under the amendment, the baggage check which article 4 talks of can be co mbined with the passenger ticket. This is not the same as under the Warsaw Convention. \par He asserted that Uganda is not a High Contracting Party to the Warsaw Convention as amended at the Hague. She never ratified the Warsaw Convention and cannot therefore apply their terms like \lquote Baggage Check\rquote . In his view, since the luggage ticket was not issued, which luggage ticket is not a baggage check, article 22 was not available to the appellant. \par Learned counsel contended that if a luggage ticket is issued under article 4(4), it contains particulars stipulated under article 4(d}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid9054626\charrsid9054626 ) (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 f) and (h) e.g. weight and liability limitation. He asserted that article 4(f) was thus not complied with by the appellant. The particulars required were not given. He sought to distingu ish this case from the Ethiopian case (supra) relied on by Mr. Katende on the ground that in this case, the luggage ticket was not filled in as was done in the Ethiopian case. This means that the particulars in this case required to be given under articl e 4(d}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid9054626\charrsid9054626 ) (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 h) and (f) were not given. The respondent was given only a baggage tag which is not the luggage ticket envisaged under the Warsaw Convention. The learned Judge was thus correct in his conclusion that the Warsaw Convention limitations were not ava ilable to the appellant. \par \par Concerning ground No.2, Mr. Othieno argued that no notice of the alleged limitations was ever brought to the attention of the respondent. The respondent\rquote s being a frequent flyer was not sufficient proof of the notice of limitat ions to the respondent. He further argued that the respondent was protected under the Illiterates Protection Act as ruled by the learned Judge. The airline ticket was a document as defined by the Act and the respondent was such an illiterate as he cou ld not read and understand the terms on the air ticket and the Warsaw Convention. In his view, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\fs24\ul\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 Thompson v London Midland & Scottish Railway Co. (supra)}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 relied on by Mr. Katende was not applicable. Mr. Othieno asserted that there was wilful conduct on the part of the appellant in handling the respondent\rquote s luggage as evidenced by their letter endorsed \'93without prejudice\'94 dated 10-03-03, (Ex P3), which was put in evidence with the consent of the appellant. In this letter the appellant admitted mishandling the respondent\rquote s luggage. He cited article 25 of the Warsaw Convention which provides that if the loss or damage is caused by such wilful misconduct or default by the appellant, then the limitations would not be available to the appellant. \par \par Regarding special damages, Mr. Othieno contended that they were proved by the cash receipts tendered in as Ex P9-i-ii. These were never objected to. The fact that they were not in the respondent\rquote s names was never raised at the trial. It was therefore safe to infer that their contents and value were admitted. He stated that even the U$ 150 awarded for hotel expenses was not challenged. He prayed Court to find that the special damages had been satisfactorily pleaded and proved and to dismiss the appeal. \par \par In reply Mr. Ka tende submitted that indeed no luggage ticket was issued to the respondent but that its absence did not affect the validity of the contract. He pointed out that a luggage ticket and a baggage check were all one document in this case. It was combined with

the passenger ticket. It was a question of terminology. Furthermore, the air ticket lists all the particulars required. Learned counsel asserted that though the witness had poor eye sight, the appellant was still protected by the Warsaw Convention sin ce they issued a proper document. The baggage check and luggage ticket being used interchangeably supports the appellant\rquote s contention that a luggage ticket and baggage check are the same thing (Ex P8). They are one document. Mr. Katende further stated tha t it is the respondent who tendered in the ticket at the trial thus he cannot turn round and deny that he never had notice of the liability limitation. He had a document in which the limitation was embodied. He had accepted the ticket without any objecti on. He cannot, therefore, plead ignorance of its terms and conditions. \par \par Regarding the letter endorsed }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \'93without prejudice\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 (Ex P3), Mr. Katende stated that it could not be relied on in court without the consent of the appellant. That is the law. However, it could be used by the appellant if it made an offer prior to filing the suit which was rejected. It (Ex P3) did not prove wilful misconduct as claimed by the respondent who had to prove wilful misconduct and not merely misconduct. The burden of proof is high and is akin to culpable negligence. Concerning the receipts, learned counsel pointed out that they were challenged in court (page 28 line 6). \par \par Mr. Katende reiterated that both the 1925 Warsaw Convention and the amendment at the Hague were complie d with. The appellant fulfilled all the requirements of the luggage ticket. This fits in with the Warsaw Convention, the luggage ticket and baggage check being on one document. He prayed Court to allow the appeal and set aside the judgement and orders of the High Court. \par \par The learned Judge held: \par }\pard\plain \ltrpar\s20\qj \li720\ri659\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin659\lin720\itap0\pararsid9054626 \rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs20\alang1025 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\f39\fs28\lang2057\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp2057\langfenp1033 {\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \'93\'85 it is the view of this court firstly that it is the Warsaw Convention and not the Hague amendment that is to be applied in this case.

The law would not exonerate him. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 This brings me to the question as to whether the appellant\rquote s conduct was equivalent to wilful misconduct under article 25 of the Convention thus disentitling him to the pro tection under article 22(2). Mr. Katende clarified that it was incumbent upon the respondent to prove that the luggage had been lost due to the appellant\rquote s wilful misconduct. Learned counsel submitted that this was a case of negligence and not wilful mi sconduct. The appellant took a lot of trouble trying to search for the lost baggage, even to the extent of arranging a trip to Nairobi for the respondent to try and locate it. In counsel\rquote s view, this was not conduct amounting to wilful misconduct. Mr. Katende pointed out that the burden of proof is high and akin to culpable negligence. It was never discharged, he submitted. Mr. Othieno, in my view, did not attempt to counter this.

\par \par It has been clearly stated that in a case like this regarding carriage by air, \'93 in order to establish wilful misconduct, a plaintiff must satisfy Court that the person who did the act knew at the time that he was doing something wrong and yet did it notwithstanding or alternatively, that he did it quite recklessly, not ca ring whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing quite regardless of the effects of what he was doing on the safety of the aircraft and of the passengers \endash to which should be added their property, for which he was responsible;\'94 }{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\fs24\ul\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 Horaben v British Overseas Airways Corporation (1952) 2 ALL ER 1016}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 . \par \par I hold the view that the appellant\rquote s exhibited a high degree of diligence and concern over the respondent\rquote s luggage. By arranging a trip for the respondent to try and locate the luggage, the appellant\rquote s con duct passed the test of diligence. The letter Ex P3 cannot be regarded as an admission of wilful misconduct. It should not have been put in evidence without the consent of both parties. It can only be used when it contains an offer that has been accept ed and also in criminal matters. That being the case the respondent failed to establish wilful misconduct whose burden is high. \par \par I find the wording on the air ticket and the law on the matter so clear that the result is to allow this appeal with costs. T he respondent is only entitled to the compensation as stipulated under the Warsaw Convention, of U$ 1120 i.e. U$ 20 per kg of 56 kg lost. \par \par \par \par }\pard\plain \ltrpar\s19\qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid9054626 \rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs20\alang1025 \ltrch\fcs0 \f39\fs28\lang2057\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp2057\langfenp1033 { \rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 Dated at Kampala \'85\'8529}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\super\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 th}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \'85 day }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid9054626\charrsid9054626 of..}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 \'85August\'85. 2006. \par \par \par \par \par }\pard \ltrpar\s19\qc \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid9054626 {\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\f0\fs24\insrsid6371887\charrsid9054626 A.
