The book explains the legal regimes governing carriage by air and their provisions. It covers the various applicable international conventions, the provisions of European law and the residual role of the common law. It focuses on the regime regulating carriage by air from the standpoint of English law, although there is inevitably an international dimension to regulations which is also discussed. Treaties such as the Warsaw-Hague Convention are considered through descriptions of Acts that have made them applicable in English law, and foreign case law has been cited where it will assist the English practitioner.
