Two airlines have had their appeals over paying out compensation for flights delays thrown out by the Supreme Court.
In two separate cases both Jet2.com and Thomson Airways had been seeking to overturn earlier decisions.
The Supreme Court said: “The Court ordered that permission to appeal be refused in Thomson because the application does not raise an arguable point of law; [and] permission to appeal be refused in Jet2.com because the application does not raise a point of law of general public importance and, in relation to the point of European Union law said to be raised by or in response to the application, it is not necessary to request the Court of Justice to give any ruling, because the Court’s existing jurisprudence already provides sufficient answer.”
