We have to file our particulars by 27th march. How long after this is the court date likely to be.

anybody know?

If you mean you need to file your bundle with the court (and the airline) by 27 March, the order that tells you to do this should also give a date for the hearing. Does it not? What then does it say?

Conventionally, the gap between the submission of the bundle and the hearing is between four and eight weeks, I believe - but this assumes a hearing date has already been set.

It depends what stage you are at, is it N1, if so four or five months.

Well the best of look for me! :beer:

Go get em, let us all know how you get on, it almost feels like a test case! Although it sets no precedents, it will be a slightly persuasive case for others to quote when you win :beer:

Cheers,

It IS form N1. I asked the wife to have a look and she confirms that there is ONLY a date to file documents with court, which is northampton and not leeds, as requested.

Best of luck, and please let us know how you get on.

In my honest opinion the first case which challenges the two year rule (and wins) will be the last one that is defended in court. The interpretations of when this can be enforced (if at all) should be established and clear guidelines given. The 6 year claim period as laid down in the European regulations should take precedent over the terms and conditions (deliberately brought in, in an attempt to reduce this period by four years) and any judge worth his salt will see through the reasons for the changes in terms and conditions brought in for this reason. Good luck to all remaining claimants.

Agreed, but it may take a couple of cases against different airlines due to slightly different wording. The writing is on the wall tho.

I also think the expert flight delay judges are getting a good feel for the regulations and the EU's intentions as to their use.

Following on from all the previous cases that the airlines have used to avoid compliance, I get the feeling that the judges are 'on to them' now.

As a few of these cases are being heard in the next couple of weeks so we won't have too long to wait before we get a clear indication of how it is likely to go.

Well I for one will bevery disappointed if Jet2 don't appeal. It's great entertainment value to see them deploying the same tired arguments and then expressing terse disappointment when they lose. Again.

I know they've lost every significant flight delay case so far, and that it must be costing them a fortune in legal fees. But why not have yet another go; they're bound to win eventually.* And in the meantime, the publicity their efforts are generating continues to raise awareness of 261/04. So keep up the good work.

*When I say "eventually", of course I actually mean "never". But that shouldn't let that put you off, Jet2 After all, it hasn't so far!
