There aren't many gentlemen's clubs where I live at the moment, unfortunately.

But here's the article from the S Times flagged by Dr. A for ease of reference.

In October, the Supreme Court ruled that a “spontaneous” fault could not be classed as an extraordinary circumstance, so airlines had to pay up. Five carriers — Thomas Cook, Jet2, Ryanair, Flybe and Wizzair — said they would continue to withhold compensation until a similar case was resolved in the Dutch courts.

Last month, however, a judge at Liverpool county court said Jet2 could not use this as an excuse not to pay because the Supreme Court — the highest court in the land — had made a decision. The judge said: “A line should now be drawn. Justice delayed is justice denied.” He added that passengers feel they are “on an airline-driven merry-go-round that shows no sign of stopping”.

The news was hailed as a turning point for claimants, but Ryanair told The Sunday Times last week that it would fight the Liverpool court decision, potentially adding another lengthy delay. “We have instructed our lawyers to appeal this ruling,” it said.

The Civil Aviation Authority said it is reviewing airlines’ policies towards paying compensation and will publish the outcome in the coming weeks. It said: “The Liverpool judgment reaffirms our longstanding view that airlines should abide by the ruling handed down by the Supreme Court last year. There is no reason for airlines to place claims on hold and we fully expect them to pay passengers the compensation they are due.”

Thomas Cook said last week that it would pay compensation to McKee, and not join Ryanair’s appeal. “We will continue to review all claims on a case-by-case basis to establish the reasons for a delay, whether technical or otherwise,” the carrier said.

Flybe also said it would not join Ryanair’s appeal. It has set aside £6m to compensate an estimated 13,800 claimants, but may change its position if the Dutch courts rule against the claimant there. Jet2 and Wizzair said they were still considering their position following the Liverpool court decision.

The quote by the CAA is quite interesting, potentially.

But....it could be a sound base from where to build your legal argument, if it isn't a default judgment.

It looks to me as though novice has been paid out notice his post in the court success thread. It looks like he's been gagged or waiting for the money before posting. Either way it looks promising because I read his delay was caused by a brake problem so a technical fault, and IF they have paid him/her then Jet 2 should be paying others.

Well, we shall test that proposition ...
