Flight delay and cancellation compensation, Ryanair ONLY

netg wrote: »

Hi all,

Usual story RA delay, followed the advice here sent a letter and got the standard response! Our friends on the same flight did the same.

My question is, can I do a joint court claim with friends or does it have to be separate claims?

Thanks

Have you read my guide?

netg,
Yes you can pursue a joint claim, be sure to name all the claimants on your form A as part of the ESCP. One of you will be named as lead claimant. Be careful though not to exceed the total amount of €2000 dependant on the no. of claimants and the individual value of each claim.
It is a small claims process and €2000 is the limit for this.
Well done for finding the Ryanair thread by the way and, posting your first question on here, a breath of fresh air for us 'regular contributors'!
Good luck and keep going

Thanks Dr Watson, yes I've been looking at the forum for a while, so thanks for all the useful info! And it would go over €2000, so separate claims it is!

Which post has your ESCP info on, the post numbers keep changing?!

Page 29 post 569.

Do have a good read of our Lord Prof Vaubans guide, all the information including the current case law that surrounds 261/2004 is in there.
Believe me, a lot of hard work and experience has gone into it...
Priceless.

Agreed it is good, thanks both.

One quick question the initial letter I sent didn't contain the text notice before action (it was the template letter), does this matter for ESCP?

I presume within it that you stated the amount you are claiming, when you expect a response by and, that if you did not receive this you would start legal proceedings?
If so then start your claim, if not just to cover all bases then I would resend your letter making sure that wording to this effect is included.
Something like, `should you not pay or reply within xx days of the date of this letter then, I shall commence legal proceedings using the ESCP to obtain the compensation I am due`.
And when they do not respond to this or, send the usual generic response, it will be Form A time.

Thanks, it's form A time then! I'll keep you posted..

PS - any sign of the RA Christmas Card? :rotfl:

Well, I know from experience `mail and compensation` from Dublin can be slow, but hey still a few days to go yet!!
