Flight delay and cancellation compensation, Jet2.com ONLY

I think since the Allen case, there is a determination by the Courts, to get these cases heard.

If as expected, Jet2 appeal the Allen case Judgement, then were does that leave current cases that are going to trial, will they re-apply to get these cases further stayed, like they did in Huzar?

It really is time that Jet2 graciously admitted defeat. I've now got to find an £80 Court hearing fee before the 15th March and since my case relates to a tech, their whole defence can now be washed out post Huzar. My case isn't due to be heard till June, so plenty of time to see which way the wind is blowing.

Cheers,

PS I'll get the main points of the Judges directions up when I have a few mins.

It seems very standard. But why it takes 2 hours to decide whether Jet2 are trying it on, I'm less certain. Still, it gives you a great platform to take them apart - if they have the guts to show up.


Jet2's legal arguments: not only dead, but sprouting mushrooms in the corner

I made the call for mediation as it was recommended in my directions from the judge, the court then said that their policy is now that all flight delay were not suitable or mediation but would go to a hearing.

Everyone in limbo now waiting for Jet2/Birds next move. Either they will concede or appeal to higher court as expected. We will soon find out when next court case is heard after lifting of stays. Does anyone have info on soonest case to be heard?

Not got a clue, but there's a few of us, including your good self with LIVE cases and we've all written to 2Birds, so hopefully they will reply with their next move soon. Let's hope it's to settle, but I fear not :beer:
Isn't yours in about three weeks, or at least 2birds, have to inform the Court or their position ?

I've just re-read the defence document, from two years ago.... I'd almost forgotten what their defence was...

It's as follows:-

1 Locus Standi

2 Premature brake unit failure

3 They produce the NEB wishlist

4 It's an extraordinary circumstance

Huzar! Huzar! It's off to Court I go
