A bit unclear, but there is no doubt that the passenger is bound by the limits in the t&c.

I have no idea what law school you attended, but by your statements it seems to be very long ago. Whether lessons are missed, forgotten, or were just not up to date with the legal development some 20 years later is irrelevant. What is relevant is the principle of burden of proof.
You still seem to put this on the passenger, and you clearly seem to be willing to accept any unproven statement from a gate agent. I dont.
For the record, do you at all accept that there could be IDB compensastion in others situations than overbooking?
