Interest for Legal Science Sample Clauses

Interest for Legal Science. From a scientific perspective, the purpose of this study is to analyse the application of the 1999 Montreal Convention by Courts in its particularity of containing uniform rules. To achieve this, five major legal points will be discussed. First, this study will evaluate the importance of having uniform rules governing international air carrier liability, and the need for these rules to be uniformly applied. Second, it will seek to determine the factors that may have contributed to a fragmentation of the 1999 Montreal Convention. From an early stage, authoritative authors acknowledged the existence of fragmentation in the context of the 1929 Warsaw Convention,63 yet no such study has been carried out with respect to the 1999 Montreal Convention, which aimed to reduce fragmentation.64 In addition, interest in the fragmentation of international law has grown recently, but from an international public law perspective,65 not yet in the context of international private law. 63 See, Xxxxx Xxxx, The International Unification of Air Law, 30 Law and Contemporary Prob- lems 400-424 (1965); Huib Drion, Toward a Uniform Interpretation of the Private Air Law Conventions, 19 J.

The Conference was making history in consolidating, for the first time, what had been fragmented and by introducing new elements to cope with the vision for the 21st century’.
