Sarah Prager KC will be participating in a debate at the 16th McGill Aviation Liability, Insurance and Finance Law Conference, taking place on 10-11 September 2026 at the McGill Faculty Club in Montréal, Québec. The conference is hosted by the renowned McGill Institute of Air and Space Law and brings together leading practitioners, academics, insurers, aviation professionals, and industry stakeholders from around the world.
Widely regarded as one of the foremost international forums for aviation law, the annual conference examines the latest legal, regulatory, insurance and commercial developments affecting the aviation sector. This year’s programme includes discussions on geopolitical challenges facing the industry, recent developments in air carrier liability, aviation manufacturing, airport and ground handling services, and the intersection between military and civil aviation.
Sarah will take part in the debate: Is it time to revisit the Aviation Liability Regime?
“Twenty-seven years on, does the Montreal Convention still serve the needs of a transformed industry? Two teams of leading advocates go head-to-head on whether the regime’s liability limits, jurisdictional rules, and scope remain fit for purpose — or whether it’s time to go back to the drafting table.”
