French Law. As already mentioned,188 the fact that the first legislative drive to regulate air carrier liability at an international level came from the French govern- ment, and especially that the only authentic language of the 1929 Warsaw Convention was French, led the American Supreme Court to consider the terms and concepts used therein were to be interpreted in accordance with French law. This was notably the case in Saks, where Justice X’Xxxxxx held that the term ‘accident’ was, in the absence of definition, to be examined for interpretation purposes in light of French law: To determine the meaning of the term ‘accident’ in Article 17 we must consider its French legal meaning. […] it is our responsibility to give the specific words of the treaty a meaning consistent with the shared expectations of the contracting parties. […] We look to the French legal meaning for guidance as to these expec- tations because the Warsaw Convention was drafted in French by continental jurists.189 186 CJEU, 26 September 2019, GN v. ZU acting for Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, C-532/18, ECLI:EU:C:2019:788 (Opinion), at 43. 187 See, section 1.3.1.1(2). 188 See, section 4.3.3.4(1). 189 Air France v. Saks, 470 U.S. 392 (1985), at 399. This position is not justified in the author’s view, as the Convention was drafted not only by continental jurists but also by represen- tatives of common law jurisdictions. In addition, continental law is not uniform, therefore what may be valid in one civil law jurisdiction is not necessarily the case in another. Later in Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx used the same interpretation method, referring to the French legal meaning of ‘bodily injury’. But, not convinced by the elements found, he suggested that reference to French law should potentially be set aside: Since our task is to ‘give the specific words of the treaty a meaning consistent with the shared expectations of the contracting parties’ […], we find it unlike- ly that those parties’ apparent understanding of the term ‘lésion corporelle’ as ‘bodily injury’ would have been displaced by a meaning abstracted from the French law of damages. Particularly is this so when the cause of action for psy- chic injury that evidently was possible under French law in 1929 would not have been recognized in many other countries represented at the Warsaw Conven- tion.190 Ultimately, in Xxxxxxxxx, the question whether damages for loss of society resulting from the death of a relative in a crash on high seas could be compensated was rai...
