Paragraph 2

United Kingdom

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

The acts and omissions of the contracting carrier and of his servants and agents acting within the scope of their employment shall, in relation to the carriage performed by the actual carrier, be deemed to be also those of the actual carrier. Nevertheless, no such act or omission shall subject the actual carrier to liability exceeding the limits specified in Article 22 F1or Article 22A of the Warsaw Convention. Any special agreement under which the contracting carrier assumes obligations not imposed by the Warsaw Convention or any waiver of rights conferred by that Convention or any special declaration of interest in delivery at destination contemplated in Article 22 or Article 22A of the said Convention, shall not affect the actual carrier unless agreed to by him.
