Reply To: Lost at CEDR with BA – what next?

[StillintheSun]

For my penny’s worth I would complain to CEDR on ground f and assert that the adjudicator’s decision is in direct contravention of Article 15(1) of the EC Flight Regs which reads as follows:
“Obligations vis-à-vis passengers pursuant to this Regulation may not be limited or waived, notably by derogation or restrictive clause in the condition of carriage.”

On my reading of your arbitrator’s decision he has allowed exactly what the EC Flight Regs prohibits BA from doing. An specialist arbitrator should at the very least be expected to know the provisions of the BA Flight Regs even if you did not specifically draw his attention to Article 15.

HT: To Meta who drew my attention to this section.

I’m due to get my decision next week so I’ll let you all know how I get on 🙂

Good luck!
