My issue is this, is it standard practice for Thomson to completely exclude me from communications they have with the court concerning my case?

Yes.

They have done the same to me throughout. The only documents I have received directly from Thomson was their bundle (and some of that was late).

Keep a list handy of all the documents Thomson have not 'served' to you and make sure the DJ knows about their unreasonable behaviour.

Thomson asking for the matter to remain stayed.

Thanks for that info Nicki,

It will be very interesting to see if the words 'Van der Lans' are mentioned.

Similar to MGOR AND Roywad, Liverpool CC have responded today to my 4th November letter post Huzar & Dawson.
The stay is lifted :T
Thomson have until 4pm on 22 December to write to the Court and claimants (!) to say why their defence should not be struck out on the basis there are no reasonable grounds to defend the claim.
Upon receipt of any such letter, the file will be referred to an 'Airline Judge' for consideration
If no letter is received then defence will be struck out and we can enter judgement for the sum claimed. Either party subject to fee can apply to have order set aside.
Still no response from Thomson.
Game on :j

Excellent news, but just Thomson cases? Or them all?

Wished I lived in Liverpool, let's hope the same approach is taken by all the courts.

As I understand it, quite a lot of people who live nowhere near Liverpool have had their cases referred by MCOL to there. This is because they have developed a bit of an expertise for handling 261/04 claims - and the anecdotal evidence suggests that their judges brook no nonsense from the airlines.

Don't tell me it's apples predicted text, again!! Lol

I thought obviously wrongly that MCOL would transfer the case to your 'local' court?

This happened in my case, but that is because I, when given the option chose Leeds as my local court.

Interesting info for others to think about when choosing their local court.

Yes, I had to google it!

A pedant is a person who is excessively concerned with formalism, accuracy & precision, or who makes an ostentatious and arrogant show of learning.

I like the arrogant bit, wifey keeps saying that so it must be true! Still love her though!

I thought a pedant was someone who works on the land

No. It's someone you employ to be your mother's sister.
