A carrier has the same liability as a carrier that is under a freight transportation contract with regard to the baggage that passengers have handed over to the carrier, even if the carrier does not claim any special freight charges for it.
運送人は、旅客から引渡しを受けた手荷物については、運送賃を請求しないときであっても、物品運送契約における運送人と同一の責任を負う。
A carrier's employee has the same liability as the employee of a carrier that is under a freight transportation contract, as it concerns the baggage provided for in the preceding paragraph.
If a passenger does not seek to have the baggage prescribed in paragraph (1) handed over within one week from the day on which the baggage arrives at the destination, a carrier may deposit the baggage with an official depository or may put it up for auction after issuing a notice for the passenger to seek to have it handed over within a reasonable period of time. In this case, once the carrier deposits the baggage with an official depository or puts it up for auction, the carrier must notify the passenger of this without delay.
If the price of baggage is likely to decline for reasons such as damage, the carrier may put it up for auction without issuing the notice referred to in the preceding paragraph.
損傷その他の事由による価格の低落のおそれがある手荷物は、前項の催告をしないで競売に付することができる。
If a carrier puts baggage up for auction pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the carrier must deposit the proceeds from the auction; provided, however, that this does not preclude the carrier from allocating all or part of the proceeds to cover the freight charges.
If a passenger's domicile or residence is unknown, the carrier is not required to issue the notice or notify the passenger as referred to in paragraph (3).
旅客の住所又は居所が知れないときは、第三項の催告及び通知は、することを要しない。
