"On 28 May 1999, participating states signed a new Convention on the carriage of goods and passengers and their luggage by air, to replace the current versions of the Warsaw Convention, to be known as the Montreal Convention. This book provides clear and practical commentary on the Convention and its likely impact. The book is split into two sections: the first outlines the scheme of liability, the scope and application of the Conventions, the history from Warsaw to Montreal and the rules of interpretation. The second part has a more detailed commentary on the Conventions. The appendices include text of the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention 1999.".
