Eastern District of Pa. Again Recognizes Montreal Convention Exclusively Governs Claims
2015-07-02 16:45:25| Airlines - Topix.net
Action Item: Until there is appellate resolution of the preemptive effect of the Montreal Convention, airlines sued in state court over damages allegedly arising during the course of international transportation should contact an experienced aviation attorney immediately to discuss whether the case should be removed to federal court based upon federal question jurisdiction, and determine the best arguments to be made in support of complete federal preemption under the Convention. On June 18, 2015, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania held for the third time that "the Montreal Convention preempts all state law claims within its scope."
