8. Time for bringing proceedings

No action against a carrier’s employee or agent which arises out of damage to which the Warsaw Convention, the Warsaw (Hague) Convention or the Warsaw (Hague) (Montreal) Convention relates is, if the employee or agent was acting within the scope of his or her employment, to be brought after more than 2 years, reckoned from the date of arrival at the destination or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived, or from the date on which the carriage stopped.

Article 29 in the First, Second and Third Schedules is not to be read as applying to any proceedings for contribution between persons liable for any damage to which the Warsaw Convention, the Warsaw (Hague) Convention or the Warsaw (Hague) (Montreal) Convention relates.

Subject to sections 4 and 29 of the Limitation Act 1959, no action may be brought by a person, liable for any damage to which the Warsaw Convention, the Warsaw (Hague) Convention or the Warsaw (Hague) (Montreal) Convention relates, to recover contribution from any other person in respect of the damage after the expiration of 2 years from the time when a court gives judgment or makes an award against the person seeking to recover the contribution.

Subsections (1), (2) and (3) and Article 29 in the First, Second and Third Schedules have effect as if references in those provisions to an action included references to an arbitration.
