Monarch delays & Compensations. Listed flights denied in O.P.

As I said, we were all new here once. The only advice I can give is to read the FAQs where absolutely everything you need is set out in very understandable terms. If you don't want to do that, have words with a no win no fee lawyer.

Good luck.[/QUOTE]


Many thanks David_e for your advice ... unfortunately due lack of experience and time to search for information regarding taking the matter further, I am considering seeking advice from a no win no fee Lawyer....do you or anyone have experience with any that perhaps could be recommended?

Thanks in advance

Donna, sorry, I have no experience but, as Centipede100 suggests, have a look at the thread he has referred you to and see if the experiences reported help you decide who to go with. You could also search the forum for "NWNF" and "no win no fee" to see if anything else is reported of firms to consider or avoid.

For what it's worth, I would want to use a business that is regulated by some professional body. That's maybe a question to ask any no win no fee business you speak to before deciding.

My case is tomorrow. Monarch sent letter to court asking for stay re: Huzar. So I sent one arguing that they hadn't mentioned Huzar in their defence disclosure list 2 weeks ago and anyway Wallentin was the EC law in any event. The case is still on and the judge will still hear what we have to say in person.

The CAA is right - you are ought of time to bring a claim.

Yup...got the reply from CAA today. They wont do anything because Ive run out of time to lodge a challenge through the courts (NOT that Ive run out of time because of EU regulations).

Oh well. Worth a try I guess BUT it does expose an irregularity between EU regulations and UK laws that allows companies a bit of a back door escape route.

Neh mind. Better luck next time!

Myself wife and 2 kids was on Monarch flight ZB546 26th May 2011 delayed 5hrs 2 mins, due to crew sickness. Monarch refused compensation as this is an extraordinary circumstance, went to CAA, they referred it back to Monarch for reconsideration but was also refused again.
My opinion is that crew sickness is not an extraordinary circumstance.
I am now thinking of using EU Claim/Bott & Co but I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I should take this further?
Thanks

Thanks I was my thoughts as well.

Hi - I wrote in November last year to the forum about flight ZB655 FLIGHT FROM MALAGA to Manchester - over 5 hours late - date 14-07-2012. Monarch said it was due to someone having a heart attack and our plane was sent out and hence delayed. I have taken it to the MCOL and they contested my claim and said they would be challenging it. They had 28 days to reply to the court. I wrote to MCOL in December saying I had heard nothing from Monarch and the court also said they hadent heard anything and that I could take out a CCJ against them. I did this and they were served with it on the 20-1-2014. I have written to them today to ask them when they are going to pay my £1095 claim for 3 people plus court expenses and they have written back to me today to say they have 14 days to pay, but the cheque has already been raised and will be posted this week. It pays to raise a MCOL claim and don't go with what others may say - I was told that a heart attack is not a technical issue and that I wouldn't win - but I have. So please add this flight to your statistics. I now have another claim against Jet2, which I have also taken out a MCOL claim. They have 14 days to come up with a statement, which I doubt they will do, so it will a CCJ for them also if they don't reply. Chase the claim - the court will not do this for you.
Thanks to all for the help and guidance on the claim.

I find it incredible that Monarch wouldn't contest a claim for a delay that was caused by a passenger having a heart attack. Unless, of course, they would have been unable to prove it in court.

In my case, Monarch had failed to file a defence to my court claim on time. However, I left it to the following week before I tried to request a default judgement, and by then Monarch had beaten me by a day. So it pays to request a judgement as soon as possible.
