  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order specifies the sterling equivalents of amounts expressed in gold francs as the limit of the air carrier’s liability under the Warsaw Convention. It supersedes the Carriage by Air (Sterling Equivalents) Order 1996.\nThe sterling equivalents have been calculated by reference to the Special Drawing Right (SDR) value of a gold franc converted into sterling at the average market rate for the month of September 1999. The new sterling figures are approximately 11 percent lower than those in the superseded Order. The SDR is based on a basket of 5 major world currencies.",
