The Third Chamber decided that an air carrier carrier is liable for all damages arising during carriage by air. Paulo first delivered judgment in December 1995 holding Lufthansa liable for the full value of the consignment. The Third Chamber reviewed the circumstances of air travel at the time of the adoption of the Convention. In their view, clauses limiting liability were justified only at the time when air trips were far more dangerous than other means of transportation. In such an environment, it was reasonable that the risk should be borne both by air carriers and owners of the cargo.
