Domestic carriage by air
278Contracting out
The provisions of this subpart have effect despite anything to the contrary in any contract or in any bylaws made by a carrier purporting to relieve the carrier of liability.
A provision of a contract of carriage or any bylaw that has the effect of overriding or limiting a carrier’s liability under this subpart (whether directly or indirectly) is unenforceable.
Subsections (1) and (2) are subject to subsection (4).
Nothing in subsection (1) or (2) applies in respect of a provision that—
- imposes a stricter duty on the carrier than would be imposed under this subpart; or
- provides a more advantageous remedy against the carrier than would be provided under this subpart.
