It is with great pleasure and a sense of pride that we received the important positive ruling of the Hellenic Supreme Court regarding a case which we argued representing our client Swiss International Airlines. The Supreme Court accepted our arguments and sided with our client, and essentially upheld a lower level court decision to reject compensation to a disgruntled passenger who demanded compensation as result of a flight delay due to technical reasons. Our office argued and the Supreme Court with its 824/2015 order, accepted that our client acted properly and in full compliance to the spirit and the letter of the directive 261/2004, item 5 paragraph 3 of  E.U.regulation. This important ruling will also serve as a guideline on an array of ongoing and future similar cases where the Directive 261/04 calls for interpretation.
