Section 6

It is declared that the limitations on liability in Article 22 in the First, Second and Third Schedules apply whatever the nature of the proceedings by which liability may be enforced and that, in particular the limitation for each passenger in Article 22(1) in the First, Second and Third Schedules applies to the aggregate liability of the carrier in all proceedings which may be brought against him under the law of Singapore, together with any proceedings brought against him outside Singapore.

A court before which proceedings are brought to enforce a liability which is limited by Article 22 in the First, Second or Third Schedule may at any stage of the proceedings make any such order as appears to the court to be just and equitable in view of the provisions of that Article, and of any other proceedings which have been, or are likely to be, started in Singapore or elsewhere to enforce the liability in whole or in part.

Without affecting subsection (2), a court before which proceedings are brought to enforce a liability which is limited by Article 22 in the First, Second or Third Schedule, where the liability is, or may be, partly enforceable in other proceedings in Singapore or elsewhere, has jurisdiction —

The Minister may, by order in the Gazette, from time to time specify the respective amounts which, for the purposes of Article 22 in the First, Second and Third Schedules, are to be taken as equivalent to the sums expressed in francs or Special Drawing Rights (as the case may be) which are mentioned in that Article.

References in this section to Article 22 in the First and Third Schedules, subject to any necessary modifications, include references to that Article as applied by Article 25A in the First and Third Schedules respectively.
