Clerk of the Privy Council
This Order amends the Carriage by Air Acts (Application of Provisions) (Overseas Territories) Order 1967 (which applies the provisions of the Carriage by Air Act 1961 and the Carriage by Air (Supplementary Provisions) Act 1962, with modifications set out in the Order, to carriage to which those Acts would otherwise not apply). In consequence of the amended Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund having come into force, this Order substitutes special drawing rights for gold francs as the unit in which the limits of the air carrier's liability are expressed for the purposes of non-international carriage. The Order increases the limits of the air carrier's liability in respect of injury or death caused to passengers in non-international carriage from 875,000 francs to 100,000 special drawing rights.
