Section 2. Luggage
Article 8
1The carrier may, and at the request of the passenger shall, issue a luggage registration voucher indicating the number and nature of the pieces of luggage handed over to him. The voucher shall be issued free, subject to the collection of any taxes payable on it.
2The luggage registration voucher, if it is not combined with a ticket, shall state the name and the address of the carrier and shall contain the statement that the contract is subject, any clause to the contrary notwithstanding, to the provisions of this Convention.
3The carrier shall be liable for any damage which may be caused to the passengers by a breach of the obligations placed upon him by this article.
Article 9
The luggage registration voucher shall be prima facie evidence of the particulars shown on it and, subject to such reservations as may be entered on it, that the luggage appeared to be in good condition when handed over.
Article 10
1A carrier acting in good faith shall be deemed to have made a valid delivery of the luggage if he delivers the luggage to the holder of the luggage registration voucher.
2If the luggage registration voucher is not produced, the carrier shall not be obliged to deliver the luggage covered by it unless the person claiming the luggage can prove his right thereto ; should the evidence appear insufficient, the carrier may require adequate security for the luggage and such security shall be returned within a period of one year from the date on which it was paid over.
3Luggage which is not claimed on the arrival of the vehicle, whether or not a voucher has been issued, shall be deposited in a safe and convenient place; such luggage shall be deemed to be in the custody of the carrier on behalf of the passenger; such custody may be entrusted to a third party ; the person having custody shall be entitled to a fair remuneration. All other matters connected with the deposit of unclaimed luggage shall be governed by the law of the place where the luggage has been deposited.
