Civil Aviation (Carriers' Liability) Act 1959

Any provision of an agreement tending to relieve the carrier of liability in accordance with this Part or to fix a lower limit than the appropriate limit of liability provided by this Part is null and void, but the nullity of such a provision does not involve the nullity of the whole contract of carriage.

The last preceding subsection does not apply to provisions governing loss or damage resulting from the inherent defect, quality or vice of goods carried.
