IF YOUR RUDDY PLANES GO WRONG AND LEAVE US STRANDED AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO PAY US THE COMPENSATION WE DESERVE.

(/rant off)

Friendofbillw........ I did ask if I had missed something, as we thought that county court judgments did not set precedents that was only high court????? and how could one small claim for a couple of hundred pounds cause such an effect? she totally ignored me the judge just smiled a very wry smile.........

he did make reference a couple of times to the quality of my submissions and I just loved it when he held it up to show her open at the wallentin report and the relevant sections highlighted..........:T:T:T:T:beer::beer::beer:

Whilst by no means an expert am more than happy to give any help to others awaiting court, yes its a pain, but it is worth it........its just a shame not all judges are applying this new CPR 1 ruling.......

:rotfl::rotfl:

please do not be daunted by the thought of court, the devil is in the detail as they say, and my bedtime reading for months has been the report.......

my folder was all sectioned off with dividers in it, and on[STRIKE][/STRIKE] the front of each divider a list of what wa sin that section.........

Everything I was relying on highlighted and numbered on a separate sheet for the judge so it was all so easy to read and reference and not get DISTRACTED.............

THAT IS MONARCHS ACE INT HE WHOLE DISTRACTION AND DIVERSION......

I DOTN THINK THE IRONY OF HER BEING LATE WAS WASTED ON THE JUDGE, HE HAD CLEARLY THROUGHLY READ AND RE-READ MY INFORMATION COVER TO COVER AND KNEW THAT THE ARGUMENTS OFFERED BY THEM WERE WEAK AS HE TOLD HER......:D:D

AGAIN THANKS YOU 3, YOUR INPUT AND POINTERS AND SUPPORT IS WHAT BROUGHT THIS RESULT HOME........:A:A

LBD

I am really that the judge not only noted how unacceptable it was for Monarch's evidence to be submitted so late (how ironic is that?) but that the arguments they had advanced against your (Wallentin-centric) statement were so weak.

Come on people - what are you waiting for? Judgment day.[/QUOTE]

SAME HERE JUST SUCH A SHAME THAT JP DID NOT HAVE THIS JUDGE..

OH I DON'T THINK HER BEING LATE WAS WASTED ON THE JUDGE LOL...

PLEASE PLEASE EVERYONE ISSUE THE COURT PAPERWORK AND SEE IT THROUGH......IT IS WORTH IT.....

I'm so pleased for you - it is a well-deserved result. Monarch shamed again.

And the irony of their submission about their delay being itself delayed is priceless. You should have told the barrister to claim "extraordinary circumstances" ...

I think you are absolutely right about keeping the focus on the key points of the law. It is obvious that the judge had read your submission, and highlighting obviously really helped.

That's the way you win 'em!

Excellent result.
Maybe Monarach and some of the other airlines will take note that we the passengers are not idiots and are able to present a reasoned and sensible claim in a court of law and will not tolerate their lies and deceit.

Very well done!

For anyone daunted by the legal process - it is simply a more formal and long winded way of having an arguement. As has been said, just get your facts right, have solid proof and present the information in a coherent and clear fashion. Theoretically (as has been proven in this case), if the Law is on your side you can't lose.

I cannot believe that Monarch PAID a Barrister to go to court and do that. Truly dreadful.

Well done. A great victory that goes another step to setting another interesting precedent for the airline industry.

Sorry, I am easily confused... just to clarify.... I need to claim from Small Planet as they are the ones that then sub-contracted Atlantic Airlines? (nice plane and crew AA by the way - better than the Gran Cru plane we had on return... again instead of SP).

Just as an after thought, can I claim for anything due to them bringing our return flight home forward by and hour, the plane was a disgrace and most passengers (although glad to actually have a plane) felt more than a little unsafe!!?

Sorry to break up the congratulations (many, many congratulations by the way to LBD!!! :T I admire your determination!) but I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to comment on the following?... in compiling my claim letter today, I noticed that the original booking confirmation listed flights as 'QS...' and that the actual flight numbers we travelled on were 'P...'. Is this in anyway significant?

Are you all sitting comfortably, then I shall begin...

Arrived at court, Barrister phoned at 11.25 delayed in traffic going tobe late!!!!!!!!!!!

turned up about 20 mins late, then hands me a skeleton argument!!!!!!!!

My response was to laugh and say a little late!!!

enters court.......Monarch submission not with the court, Barrister did not have anything with her, totally ill prepared.

Nice Judge ask us, did you receive a bundle? .. reply, Yes


Sir................

Judge when.................. me saturday morning 9 am sir.......

Judge not even 1 working day before the hearing, well I have nothing........Barrister Sir the statements and supporting documents were sent tot he court...

Judge when? barrister Erm the 4th July sir.........

Might I remind you of the new rules in CPR 1 about how incumbent on all parties to follow the guidelines and time frames set by the court and its directions, now Mr & Mrs have done so, when did you serve this ont he defendant?

Me by the 24 June Sir recorded delivery and have the received receipt with me.....I also have the defendants statements with me if you wish them sir!

Judge Thank you but that will not be necessary, they are late and therefor excluded and as such judgment is awarded to the claimants.


She tried to argue them in, he just was having none of it, and well and truely put her in her place............ he lifted up my folder and showed her it, all the sections I was relying on highlights etc, etc......

She continued ot argue, he replied, if if I did allow itin at this late date, your evidence and arguments for ec's is to say the least very week.

But sir this case is very important to the industry and its result will cost the industry millions of pounds.......judge that has nothing to do with the claimants claim..........

the skeleton argument I will give you so you know what is in it......

Vauban thank you so much for all you have done, Mark same goes for you as well and you Centipede.............. your help and support adn input greatly appreciated.............

Thanks everyone.....

congratulations lovely to see the wins coming in:beer:

Hello All.
Me and my boyfriend were delayed 3 hours and 37 mins on our flight from lanzarote to Stansted on 04.07.13 - TCX7125.
This was due to a problem with part of the aircraft. Has anyone else tried to get compensation for this delay? Let us know how it goes and we will keep you updated of our progress.
Thank you

Marvellous result.. What a bunch of numpties.
