What does that excerpt from s9 of the T&Cs mean though?  Wouldn't it need a mandatory provision in UK consumer law that consumer court cases had to be heard in the UK?

And - off topic - further down s9, what on earth does "... proceedings against a Ryanair Group airline on foot of that contract for carriage... " mean? [My italics]

What does "on foot of" mean?  Is it meant to be "based on"?

Ah, it appears to be an Oirish expression - from the OED:

"Irish English. on foot of: consequent and in conformance to (a legal judgment, decision, etc.); on the basis of."
