Text: (c) the agreed stopping places, provided that the carrier may reserve the right to alter the stopping places in case of necessity ...; (d) the name and address of the consignor; (e) the name and address of the first carrier; (f) the name and address of the consignee . . . ; (g) the nature of the goods; (h) the number of packages, the method of packing, and the particular marks or numbers upon them; (i) the weight, the quantity, the volume, or dimensions of the goods; ... (q) a statement that the transportation is subject to the rules relating to liability established by this convention. Warsaw Convention art. 8(a)-8(q) (emphasis added). CONTINENTAL INSURANCE v. FEDERAL EXPRESS 7159 additional waybills — 8101 8095 3067 and 8101 8095 3056 (“3067” and “3056”). FedEx maintained that Continental was barred from pursuing claims for additional waybills. However, the district court also permitted Continental to proceed on waybills 3067 and 3056. Because weight notations appeared on the waybills in evidence for 3045 and 3137, FedEx stated “for the purposes of this motion only, Federal Express will concede that this matter is governed solely by the Original Warsaw Convention.” Obviously, this concession was made because the waybills complied with all the requirements of the Original Warsaw Convention, including the weight requirement. Thus, partial summary judgment was granted for FedEx on those two waybills. The district court permitted Continental to proceed on waybills 3067 and 3056 because Continental’s complaint stated that the action involved the loss of shipments “including but not necessarily limited to, air waybill numbers 3045 and 3137.” The copies of waybills number 3067 and 3056 did not contain the weight of the goods shipped on the copies of the waybills before the court; therefore, the district court denied partial summary judgment limiting liability as to those shipments.
