Explain the answer to this in detail for me Sala, a regular flier with Mungulu Airlines and enjoyed a 15% discount on the air fares. On each occasion he travelled from Mfuwe to Lusaka and back, he signed a form that enabled him to enjoy this package. At the back of this form was a hardly readable message in small letters that stated that the company would not be responsible for any loss caused by delay in departure or arrival arising out of natural calamities. On the latest occasion, he did not sign the form. A heavy downpour submerged the runway at Mfuwe airstrip causing a 2 hour delay before any plane could take off. Consequently, Sala arrived in Lusaka late and missed the ivory auction sale and the Airline refused liability for the loss he suffered. On his way from the airport, Sala parked his car in Mike's Car Park. He paid the attendant at the entrance. A notice at the entrance set out the parking charges but contained no other information. There were also notices on pillars inside the car park which stated that Mike's Car Park management accepted no responsibility for loss or damage to vehicles or their contents, "howsoever caused'. When Sala returned for his car, it had been damaged and just like Mungulu Airlines, Mike's Car Park management refused liability for the loss suffered. Sala is contemplating court action against Mungulu Airlines and Mike's Car Park. Required: With the aid of legal authorities and based on your knowledge of Commercial Law, advise whether Sala's court action will succeed or not?
