Abstract
Before determining the effect of the limitation provisions in the private air law conventions on the liability for damages, it is necessary to study the extent of damages for which liability is imposed. The questions which will be considered in this connection are (1) the question of remoteness or unforeseeability of damages, especially in relation to the question of compensation for exceptionally valuable goods, (2) the influence of contributory negligence, and (3) the question posed by national laws establishing limits of liability in case of death or personal injuries.
