The Carriage by Air Acts (Application of Provisions) (Fourth Amendment) Order 1998

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Carriage by Air Acts (Application of Provisions) Order 1967, as amended (which applies the provisions of the Carriage by Air Act 1961 and the Carriage by Air (Supplementary Provisions) Act 1962, with modifications set out in the Order, to carriage to which those Acts would otherwise not apply). The principal amendments provide for the deletion of Articles 15(3) and 25(A) of the Warsaw Convention as amended at The Hague 1955 from their application to international carriage under the unamended Warsaw Convention and for the introduction of an additional Schedule (Schedule 3) to have effect in respect of certain international carriage to which Additional Protocol No. 1 of Montreal 1975 applies (which introduces a new unit of account—the Special Drawing Right—for the purposes of the Warsaw Convention as amended by Additional Protocol No. 1 of Montreal 1975). That Protocol came into force on 15th February 1996.
