RECOVERY FOR INJURY TO A KITTEN SHIPPED BY AIR LIMITED TO $50 BY THE TERMS OF THE AIR WAYBILL (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s recovery for injury to a kitten shipped by air was subject to the $50 limit in the air waybill signed by plaintiff:

An air waybill forms the basic contract between a shipper and an air carrier … . In order to enforce a limited liability provision contained in an air waybill, a carrier must demonstrate that its contract satisfies the released-valuation doctrine … . Under the released-valuation doctrine, the shipper “is deemed to have released the carrier from liability beyond a stated amount” in exchange for a low shipping rate … . The shipper is bound by the limited liability provision if he or she (1) has reasonable notice of the rate structure, and (2) is given a fair opportunity to pay a higher rate in order to obtain greater protection … . … The fact that the language setting forth the limited liability provision is found on the reverse side of the air waybill does not render the provision unable to satisfy the released-valuation doctrine … . …

Here, the air waybill signed by the plaintiff’s shipper demonstrates that the shipper did not declare a value for the kitten and no additional coverage was purchased. The terms of the air waybill also provided a fair opportunity to purchase greater coverage … . …… [T]he plaintiff had the burden of showing that she did not have a fair opportunity to purchase greater liability protection … . The plaintiff, who submitted only her attorney’s affirmation and certain veterinary bills in opposition, failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether she was not given the opportunity to purchase additional coverage. Lentini v Delta Air Lines, Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 01597, Second Dept 3-14-18
