  "heading": "Limitation of liability",
  "text": "(1) It is hereby declared that the limitations on liability in Article 22 in the First Annex to this schedule apply whatever the nature of the proceedings by which liability may be enforced and that, in particular—\n(a) those limitations apply where proceedings are brought by a tortfeasor to obtain a contribution from another tortfeasor, and\n(b) the limitation for each passenger in paragraph (1) of the said Article 22 applies to the aggregate liability of the carrier in all proceedings which may be brought against him under the law of an Overseas Territory together with any proceedings brought against him outside that Overseas Territory.\n(2) A court before which proceedings are brought to enforce a liability which is limited by the said Article 22 may at any stage of the proceedings make any such order as appears to the court to be just and equitable in view of the provisions of the said Article 22, and of any other proceedings which have been, or are likely to be, commenced in an Overseas Territory or elsewhere to enforce the liability in whole or in part.\n(3) Without prejudice to the last foregoing subsection, a court before which proceedings are brought to enforce a liability which is limited by the said Article 22 shall, where the liability is, or may be, partly enforceable in other proceedings in an Overseas Territory or elsewhere, have jurisdiction to award an amount less than the court would have awarded if the limitation applied solely to the proceedings before the court, or to make any part of its award conditional on the result of any other proceedings.\n(4) The Governor of an Overseas Territory may, in such manner as he may think fit, from time to time, specify the respective amounts which for the purposes of the said Article 22, and in particular of paragraph (5) of that Article, are to be taken as equivalent to the sums expressed in francs which are mentioned in that Article.\n(5) References in this section to the said Article 22 include, subject to any necessary modifications, references to that Article as applied by Article 25A.",
