https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=356029 Rule 30 of the Second Schedule to the Carriage by Air Act, 1972 imposes a special two-year period for bringing claims arising from carriage by air, and that period extinguishes the right to damages if not enforced in time. Because the Act is a later special enactment, Section 18 of the Limitation Act, 1963 cannot be used to extend or revive that fixed period, even where an alleged acknowledgement of liability is relied on. The court-law computation rule under the Limitation Act applies only to calculation, not to enlargement of the statutory deadline. The alleged acknowledgement in the reply notice therefore did not save the suit, which was treated as time-barred. en-us Fri, 02 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 06:02:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=356029 Rule 30 of the Second Schedule to the Carriage by Air Act, 1972 imposes a special two-year period for bringing claims arising from carriage by air, and that period extinguishes the right to damages if not enforced in time.
