About this statute

This article defines key terms used in the Convention, including the Warsaw Convention, contracting carrier, and actual carrier. If an actual carrier performs all or part of the carriage, both the contracting carrier and the actual carrier are subject to the Warsaw Convention, with the actual carrier covered only for the carriage it performs. This article says the acts and omissions of the actual carrier and the contracting carrier are treated as the acts and omissions of the other, subject to the carriage covered here. A complaint or order under the Warsaw Convention has the same effect whether addressed to the contracting carrier or the actual carrier, but Article 12 orders are effective only if addressed to the contracting carrier. A servant or agent of the actual carrier or contracting carrier may rely on the Convention’s liability limits if they prove they acted within the scope of employment, unless the Warsaw Convention rule against invoking those limits is proven to apply.
