ABSTRACTMichael Bogdan, Professor at Lund University, describes the issues related to the conflict of laws arising from injury or death caused by an aircraft accident. According to Michael Bogdan, the two fundamental issues related to the international implications of air accident disputes are issues of the competent court and the applicable law. The issue of jurisdiction is important, inter alia, because of the forum shopping of claimants who try to bring proceedings before the court which is most favorable to them. The author studies the relevant international conventions (Warsaw or Rome), as well as the solutions adopted in Europe and the United States. The issue of the applicable law is also of paramount importance, since it depends on the type of liability that will be incurred and the type of damage that will be compensated.
Le cours de Michael Bogdan, professeur à l’Université de Lund, décrit les questions relatives aux conflits de lois survenant du fait de blessures ou de la mort occasionnées par un accident d’avion. Les deux questions fondamentales liées aux implications internationales des litiges concernant un accident aérien sont selon Michael Bogdan celle de la juridiction compétente et celle du droit applicable. La question de la compétence est entre autres importante en raison du forum shopping des demandeurs qui essaient d’ouvrir un procès devant la juridiction qui leur sera la plus favorable. L’auteur étudie ici les conventions internationales pertinentes (Varsovie ou Rome), ainsi que les solutions adoptées en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. La question du droit applicable revêt elle aussi une importance capitale, puisque d’elle dépend le type de responsabilité qui sera engagé et le type de dommage qui sera indemnisé.
