Bayer Corporation v. British Airways, Plc

Affirmed by published opinion. Chief Judge WILKINSON wrote the opinion, in which Judge WIDENER and Judge TRAXLER joined.

OPINION

WILKINSON, Chief Judge:

Bayer Corporation brought this suit against British Airways under the Warsaw Convention, alleging that British Airways was responsible for the spoilage of Bayer’s goods. The district court granted partial summary judgment to Bayer, but limited recovery to $6,110. The court limited Bayer’s recovery because it found that British Airways had not engaged in “wilful misconduct” under article 25 of the Convention. We now affirm the judgment.
