Abstract

The present commentary on the Montreal Convention seeks to emphasize the importance of applying the updated amounts ​​of the compensation established in that standard. The mechanism of periodic review of the compensation limits foreseen in the event of delay, death or bodily injury to a passenger, as well as loss, damage or destruction of luggage or cargo, came about after the dissatisfaction of several signatory countries of the Warsaw Convention in the face of the delay in the amounts arbitrated over the years. Considering that the thesis in Theme 210 signed by the Federal Supreme Court imposes the application of the indemnity charged by the Convention to the damages regulated by it, then the law enforcer has the duty to fix the indemnities in compliance with the limits updated by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
