This document has been co-sponsored jointly with the ICS and refers to concerns that courts in Member States have taken decisions in past cases that are inconsistent with the Civil Liability and Fund Conventions, notably with respect to the limitation and channelling provisions of the 1992 Civil Liability Convention (1992 CLC). This document reviews the background to these provisions, and various problems involved in the approach to them which has sometimes been taken. The IG and the ICS are of the view that further efforts could be made to develop a better understanding of the compensation system, as well as other possible options such as measures to increase the number of ratifications of the 2003 Supplementary Fund Protocol.
