Fellow sufferers


I have received communication from Harrogate Court 'staying' any judgement on my case pending the outcome of the Liverpool case.

Have I missed something here Dr_A ?

Ermmm, What Liverpool case?

I did read that Liverpool have developed a good team of DJ's to deal with the airlines - so not completely bad news

I don't understand the reasoning behind the Harrogate stay. What are District/Circuit judges in Liverpool going to do or say that can overide the clear determination by the CoA and Supreme Court?
Dr A-H did you request to Harrogate that the stay be lifted?

It really is bizarre to say the least, we'll have to get more details from DrA but I do recall DrA posting that the request to have the stay lifted had been made, and that the Judge was about to award compensation. Jet2 threw the usual Van der Lans stuff in to the Court, so where Liverpool comes into any of it - Well I'm really confused.

A significant amount of cases are being transferred to Liverpool, Manchester or Luton courts for preliminary hearings particularly where a stay release has been requested. The expertise of Judges in these courts allows for a quick determination of initial matters which may result in the defendant deciding to drop their defence before an initial hearing is held in the court where your hearing was requested.

Oh good, mine is in manchester and Tc has agreed the stay be lifted so it's just waiting on the court now then.

In my case one of the questions that the Liverpool Court asked Thomson was whether anyone else had raised a claim. As there were a couple of us then the cases were linked. It sounds that Liverpool is handling several cases on the same flight as your own (through Bott?)

Oh well at least the interest is stacking up....

You'll have plenty of time to sit and workout compound interest, that'll baffle them

Unfortunately the method of working out interest is by using simple interest calculations, not quite so baffling (or lucrative).

Some more info on interest rates for claims here:

As I understand it a bunch of Jet2 cases - I think some of the Bott ones - have been gathered at Liverpool. The documentation from 2birds sent to the Harrogate Court was a copy of the stuff they sent to Liverpool with 'Liverpool' written at the top so that's how the Judge at Harrogate worked it out :T. I had asked that the stay be lifted and quoted brief rejoinders to 2birds' rather specious arguments but this was the Judge's decision.

I can see some sense in this - having Courts around the country jumping this way or that would result in a proper stooshie. In the meantime it's an 8% p.a. savings scheme!
