探析1999年《蒙特利尔公约》“上、下航空器的过程中”的判定

Analysis on the Judgments in the Course of Embarking or Dis-embarking of 1999 Montreal Convention

"航空器上或者上、下航空器的过程中"这一重要术语涉及国际航空旅客运输赔偿,但该术语没有在1999年《蒙特利尔公约》里被定义和解释,这会影响到法院对该术语的判定从而影响旅客赔偿。本文详细阐述了司法实践中法院对该术语的判定方法,即"位置要素决定说"和"代伊模式",通过对比分析以及案例分析的方法,得出前者判断方式单一、不利于旅客权益保护,而后者综合多种因素进行判断可以更好地保护旅客权益,所以对该术语的判定应采用后一方法的结论。另外,采用"代伊模式"对我国司法实践具有重要的借鉴意义。
