Focus

The vast majority of disputes regarding EC Regulation 261/2004 are decided on a written basis, i.e. without an oral hearing. Therefore, it is important for air carriers to be able to present the essential evidence. However, this requires that air carriers internally have procedures in place that will secure the collection of relevant evidence when a delay or a cancellation occur.

But what evidence is relevant? And exactly what does it take to win a case on a written basis? These are the questions we will look into, in connection with our upcoming seminar the 28^th of January 2020.

Just in the last months of 2019, IUNO won around 30 court cases on a written basis. At the seminar, we will share our experiences about what evidence it is necessary to present to lift the burden of proof and thereby to win the case.

Furthermore, we will also be looking at the latest case court cases and developments regarding EC Regulation 261/2004.
