Flight delay and cancellation compensation, Tui/Thomson ONLY

Vauban

I agree Zeewrath. The experience of people on here shows the courts seems to grant set-asides willy-nilly (regardless of what the rules may stipulate).

IMO it's one rule for solicitors and another rule for LIP's. (by Judges)
Lip's tend to get given the run around a lot more than learned friends.

Just perhaps that's because most Judges are (Deputy DJ) or were Solicitors.....

Stinks to high heaven!

There's been a ruling on flight delayed by bird strikes. I can't post the link but a judge rules in favour of a Thomas Cook passenger delayed for 5 hours. I found the article in the Telegraph.

Most likely, because that judgement thankfully hasn't set a precedent.

I beg to disagree. Most judges will bend over backwards to ensure that LIPs are not disadvantaged simply by being LIPs. But this doesn't mean that LIPs should expect preferential treatment.

Hi folks,
I've got two claims against Thomson currently on the go.
Both for the same holiday. One outbound and the other inbound.
I started the claim last July (as soon as we landed) and have been rejected by Thomson with each letter I sent.. Not that they replied to each.
I also wrote to the CAA and they agreed that compensation was due on one of the delays. The other they say is classed as extraordinary circumstances.
I wrote an LBA for both, but 3 months have passed now and I've had no reply whatsoever.
So now I want to go down the court route.. But have zero experience or knowledge with this.
Can someone tell me the steps I need to take and the approximate cost?
Thanks in advance
