Peter Jones' Commentary:
These conditions adopt the one year limitation, which is often applicable by virtue of international transport conventions governing the transport of goods by sea.
This limitation period is different from the nine-months limitation used by the FIATA Bill of Lading and the FIATA Model Rules Section 10.
