Résumé

The litigious parcels received by the carrier's handler at the destination airport are already opened, some cargo already missing. The remaining cargo is stolen the night after .

Attendu

Taking into account the actual weight of the delivered cargo arrived at the airport, without any consideration for the weight mentionned on the airway bill, would render article 22.3 ineffective in the case of loss or destruction. The claim put forward by the carrier's handler according to which the liability has to be fixed at 2147 SDR, on the grounds that only 113 kg instead of the 136 kg mentioned on the air waybill had ever arrived at the airport, has to be rejected.

Interprétation

The appellants contested the calculation method of the compensation owed by the carrier, arguing that the weight to be taken into account to apply the SDR cap is not the initial weight of the cargo (as mentioned on the air waybill) but the remaining weight after the flight. The court rejects the argument.
