(2) The baggage check shall be made out in duplicate, one part for the passenger and the other part for the carrier.

(3) The baggage check shall contain the following particulars—

(a)the place and date of issue;

(b)the place of departure and of destination;

(c)the name and address of the carrier or carriers;

(d)the number of the passenger ticket;

(e)a statement that delivery of the baggage will be made to the bearer of the baggage check;

(f)the number and weight of the packages;

(g)the amount of the value declared in accordance with Article 22(2);

(h)a statement that the carriage is subject to the rules relating to liability established by the Warsaw Convention.

(4) The absence, irregularity or loss of the baggage check does not affect the existence or the validity of the contract of carriage, which shall none the less be subject to the rules of this Schedule. Nevertheless, if the carrier accepts baggage without a baggage check having been delivered, or if the baggage check does not contain the particulars set out at (d), (f) and (h) above, the carrier shall not be entitled to avail himself of those provisions of this Schedule which exclude or limit his liability.
