In [4] it was conjectured that a light map p : E → B for which paths can be lifted and lifting of arcs is unique is a Serre fibration. As is well-known this implies that paths have unique liftings. In this paper we shall prove several special cases of this conjecture.

The two main theorems are: (3.5) Let p be a light compact map of a metric space E onto a connected semi-locally contractible along arcs metric space B. If arcs can be lifted uniquely then p is locally trivial.
