While we are on the subject of differences between countries, it is also the case that the kind of damages covered/rules on remoteness of damage also vary from one jurisdiction to another. It is therefore unwise to assert blithely that the carrier is not responsible for "consequential damages" (which, incidentally, is an ambiguous phrase without clear and precise legal definition) without knowledge of the specific law applicable and the rules on remoteness of damage in the relevant legal system.
