1. Where the luggage or goods arrive damaged, the consignee shall serve a notice to the carrier immediately upon detection of the damage, not later than (7) seven business days with regard to luggage, and (14) fourteen business days with regard to goods from the date of their receipt. In case of delayed arrival of luggage or goods, the notice shall be served within (21) twenty-one business days at the most from the day on which the luggage or goods are placed at the disposal of the consignee. 2. The notice may be served in the form of an objection to be recorded in the airway bill at the time of receiving the luggage or goods. 3. The action for liability against the carrier shall be inadmissible where the notice is not served within the time limits specified in this Article, unless the plaintiff proves that the carrier or its subordinates have committed an act of fraud or deception in order to miss such time limits or to conceal the damage sustained by the luggage or goods.
