Surely as flight departs from Portugal then the precedent set using EU261 would apply? I am not seeing why UK legislation has to be called on here.
Not necessarily in an English court; it’s English law that is being applied, so an EU court precedent is not very attractive. If you take the action in a Portuguese court as @meta suggested then, yes, that precedent will apply.
