nice to know that you are around.

Certainly am.
While ever there is a Ryanair that routinely charges a levy to supposedly cover its' 261/2004 liabilities.....yet routinely fails to pay its' customers from the large amounts it creates for RA from this.....and forces customers to take court action to get what they are rightly owed...
...then yes...I'll be around a long time...
A vacancy has appeared- and I intend to apply.

Another bonus of the European small claims route is that the judgement is given from written submissions, - there's no need to go to court and argue your case against barristers.

Generally so yes it is. Although either party can request an oral hearing.
RA will always request an oral hearing, they are desperate to get their barristers into court, firstly to intimidate the litigant, and secondly to try and 'roll the judge over'.
But again, generally speaking, the case is a written one that requires no need to actually go to court.
There are merits to this, one for sure is not having RA's barristers in court, and to most litigants a day in court isn't that appealing.
On the downside, you don't get your chance to put your case to the judge with oral representation.
The knife cuts both ways in this case...
Personally i'd have loved a go, even if RA had turned up with OJ Simpson's barrister....

I agree. I enjoyed my dance with Monarch's barrister (actually two) immensely. Particularly as I knew it was costing the airline a fortune as well. But I accept that many, if not most, people would get their kicks elsewhere ...;)

If there was weather problems earlier then there could well have been ATC issues with the backlog of flights - what does flightstats show for the airport arrivals that day?

Dr Watson sorry to bother you again but being no legal expert the whole process is beginning to panic me. On the ESCP forms it says that you should fill I form for each claimant, not required I hope. Also do you know of any UK phone number where I might get the address to send my written forms to. Also in my situation the thought of an oral hearing fills me with dread where about on the form do I opt out of it.


Thanks again

Have you read the HM Courts & Tribunals Service booklet EX725?

I personally just filled the details for the rest of my family in part 8.1 details of the claim.
But to be certain i'd just duplicate section 3 for the number of claimants.
At section 7.1.1 be sure to put the total figure you are claiming i.e 4x 400euros =1600 euros for 4x passengers as part of the claim.
You are asked if you would like an oral hearing at part 8.3.

Your written forms need to go to your nearest court (that is familiar with the procedure). Try your nearest major city, as explained in post 622.

If you are panicking now and don't feel that you can do this, consider putting your claim in the hands of a No Win No Fee company to forfeit around 25-30% of any compensation awarded. Also explained in post 622.

Dr Watson thanks once again.

Last year my flight delayed and i had problems with the airline. I advise all with the same problem to look for experts. These experts will help you to get your compensation.
