PROTOCOL OF SIGNATURE |
At the time of signing the International Convention for
the unification of certain rules of law relating to bills
of lading the Plenipotentiaries whose signatures appear
below have adopted this Protocol, which will have the
same force and the same value as if its provisions were
inserted in the text of the Convention to which it relates.
The High Contracting Parties may give effect
to this Convention either by giving it the force of
law or by including in their national legislation in
a form appropriate to that legislation the rules adopted
under this Convention.
They may reserve the right:
1. To prescribe that in the cases referred to
in paragraph 2 c to p of Article 4 the holder of a bill
of lading shall be entitled to establish responsibility
for loss or damage arising from the personal fault of
the carrier or the fault of his servants which are not
covered by paragraph a.
2. To apply Arctic 6 in so far as the national
coasting trade is concerned to all classes of goods
without taking account of the restriction set out in
the last paragraph of that Article.
Done at Brussels, in a single copy, 25th
August, 1924.
