Seeking compensation for money lost due to passport delays?

Those who lost their holiday money due to passport delays......can we not get a lawsuit going for everyone who has suffered? Why should we loose out?

Everyone's situation is different what was yours? Who do you plan on issuing a lawsuit to exactly?

Doubt you'd get anywhere as you should only book a holiday abroad if you have a valid passport. That is the advice by both tour operators and the passport office. Booking against that advice comes with a risk - such as not being able to go on holiday.

We tell our customers not to book travel unless they’ve received their new passport as we cannot accept responsibility for missed travel. We will not give a refund or compensation if they miss travel because we did not meet our guaranteed or standard service level agreements.”
