DO NOT BACK DOWN !

The point of the post is just to inform all, that against Jet2 (IMO) it to be a larger and more protracted battle than against other airlines at the moment.

If you do decided to pursue on your own, the evidence suggests you will have a battle in which you would have to be prepared to end up in court.

You could try no win / no fee.

Eventually Jet 2 (i believe) will crack... Pure numbers of claimants (I.e. A mass wall of simmultanious claimants willing to pursue through the courts at the same time and with the same determination as Jet 2) could well change their stance on the issue.

Also, this issue of 261 / 2004 is only just hotting up and i think that over the next few months could well be the next "big thing" and a mass of claimants will, eventually, make it financially unviable for Jet2 defend these claims all the way.

At the moment, we are all pioneers on this issue. My advise to you is...

DO NOT QUIT (We here need your help as much as you need ours.)

(We may differ on our opinions, but our Goal is the same.)

Numbers are our ally.

I'm afraid after 8 months on this forum, 'fire off an MCOL' (or similar) is about all I can muster.
If people can't read the FAQ's and the dozens of times that 'this will most probably not be a simple letter writing exercise' has been written that there's not much else that can be done, except give glib 'fire off NBA and then court' style 'advice'.
The fact that Jet 2 are being awkward doesn't change anything. Monarch and Thomson are also lying through their teeth at people. All airlines to some extent are being awkward.

Hi all, after reading the last post I'm thinking that I hold just give in to jet 2 and back down. I originally got a denied claim for comp saying that t was more than 2 years ago (oct 2008) so they would not consider my claim. I was delayed 3.10 hours I know the fault was due to a technical fault with their plane as a friends husband is an engineer for jet 2. We had to wait for a different plane to arrive. I contested their decision after speaking to CAA who said to fight it or speak to the Spanish authorities. I have just received a second letter denying my claim again using the 2 yer rules and now saying that the technical fault was an extraordinary circumstance which could not have been foreseen and beyond jet 2 control.

Any help or advice would be welcomed?
Thanks

At the very least use a no win no fee. Read from Post 1 and get more info

I have not seen evidence of ONE win against Jet 2. Not one penny paid out from Jet 2 to ANYONE... EVER. (both in court, or folding before it gets there.)

08 Jun 2013 County Court Judgement £1,368 NORTHAMPTON CCMCC 3YL25395
24 May 2013 County Court Judgement £1,090 NORTHAMPTON CCBC 3QT49756

2 wins ...(OK , could be for unrelated things but seems like a fair assumption to make that these are for flight delay comps.)

Also
400 Euro is approx £340 today
This looks 4 passengers and 3 passengers.

Hi
Thanks for all the advice.
I served Jet2 my NBA 30th May, got a letter explaining the reason was a "Ground Service Transfer relay" and they say extraordinary and will not pay. Relays are notoriusly unreliable.
From reading your above I need good expertise to take it further.
I've filled in the online forms at EuClaim. This was not easy as it would not let me get beyond stage 1 in Internet Explorer. I used Firefox a second time and did not use any commas or spaces in the addresses, postcode or telephone numbers. This worked fine.
I have 32 documents to pass on. I loaded about 5 online and sent the rest by email. They say 4-6 weeks before they get back to me.
My other thought is that EuClaim have invested in helping claimants, so I think it proper to help them get their investment back.
I'll keep you all updated.

ive got my court date against JET2 for November!!
when i queried it Ive been told that because I have done that mammoth research and attached piles of documents and evidence in support of my claim ,that the case is to big for my loal court.they allocate an hour and this may need all day.so its been transferred to an all day court 12 miles away.
november is the earliest date.on the one hand im thinking its cut and dried in that its a technical fault .inherent despite infrequent problem ,part of an airlines day to day happenings and furthermore they didnt take reasonable measures to minimise our delay.so why does that need a whole day?
then on other hand the fact the judge has gone through it anfd decided it needs more attention might be a good thing?

Most interesting. I am 3 weeks away from my court appearance and it is scheduled for an hour. I am hoping that means the judge has seen the my form N1 and the Defence and made his mind up (hopefully in my favour) because thus far he's seen nothing else. Statements and bundles due in next week.

after speaking to a solicitor I think not.The judge when he is allocated the case doesnt read anything in detail until the morning of the hearing,he simply looks at what paperwork he has in front of him.If its an N1 and then a few pages of defence from messers birds and a two page allocation questionairre from both sides which have about 4 paragraphs on them then he will assume that small claims court one hour will suffice.
I sent in a 6 page defence with numerous points to prove and attachments of evidence .I asked an awful lot of questions to be answered before the hearing.
So I think the judge realised that this wouldnt be covered in an hour.
The ones that have gone to court have overran from what I can recall or read.
If you are in doubt and intend to submit chapter and verse and know that bird wiill be presenting a lengthy boring unconnected pile of legal jargon nothing to do with the case then perhaps have a word with the court.
The solicitor I spoke to seemed to think it was good that the judge realised it was a lot of evidence that needed hearing.
He said that if the judges in small claims read all the evidence prior to hearing that a lot of cases would be settled with a judgement prior to turning up at court.However they dont read anything in depth until the day.

Same here PDoff. It'll be interesting to see what the outcome is in both our cases.
