such instance the Carrier’s liability shall be limited to a maximum liability of R10.00 per 1000 kilogram
mass of the gross weight of the container and its content at the time of such damage or loss, or R500.00
whichever shall be the lesser.
16.2 In any event, the Carrier shall be discharged from all and any liability, whatsoever, unless notice in writing
of the full extent of the claim is given to the Carrier within 24 hours of delivery, or the time when the delivery

goods over which the Carrier does exercise such a lien. The Carrier’s lien shall extend to a lien for the
costs incurred in the exercise thereof. The Carrier may appoint any third party, warehouseman, Carrier
or other person to exercise effective control over the goods on his behalf and the fact that the Carrier itself
