Canadian Transportation Agency Cancels Public Hearing Concerning Whether Jetsgo's Liability Limit for Baggage Is Reasonable

News Release

TORONTO - August 19, 2004 - The Canadian Transportation Agency has cancelled the public hearing that it intended to hold in Toronto in late September on the merits of three complaints filed against Jetsgo alleging that the air carrier's $250 liability limit for baggage lost, damaged or delayed on its domestic flights is unreasonable. This cancellation follows the withdrawal of the three complaints filed with the Agency on the above-noted matter. In each case, the complaint was withdrawn after Jetsgo had negotiated a private resolution with each complainant. Pursuant to section 67.2 (1) of the Canada Transportation Act, the Agency may, upon complaint only, find that terms or conditions of carriage applicable to a domestic service are unreasonable or unduly discriminatory. Since all three complaints have been withdrawn, the Agency loses the jurisdiction to deal with these complaints and therefore has no option but to cancel the planned hearing. The Canadian Transportation Agency is an independent quasi-judicial tribunal that regulates various modes of transportation under Government of Canada jurisdiction, including air, marine and rail. -30- For further information, please contact: Jadrino Huot Senior Communications Adviser (819) 953-9957 To keep up-to-date with our latest news releases and other information, subscribe to our electronic mail service.
