Hi

Court of Appeals in Helsinki ruled in my favour and ordered Finnair to pay the compensation for delayed flight plus nearly all my legal fees. The judgement was well drafted and it was based in correct interpretation of the European Court of Justice case law. It is also good to note that Chief Judge of the proceedings was no other than the President of the Helsinki Appeals Court, most experienced and senior judge of the whole court. He has also previously served in the Finnish Supreme Court.

It will be a privilege if the case goes to the Finnish Supreme Court. Finnair has lost all its cases related to passenger rights in court of appeals and supreme court. Appeals court decision left very little room for Finnair to argue its case anymore. And furthermore if it goes to the supreme court, I can request the court to pursue preliminary ruling from the European Court of Justice which I will do. ECJ is no friend of airlines when it comes to passenger rights and Finnair has already been in ECJ two previous occasions of which one was denied boarding case and other one unlawful termination of job contract, losing both cases single handedly.

I will do whatever it takes to beat Finnair which has blatantly refused to respect the law, pay compensation for those it should be paid and above all, because they use tax payers money to fight their own customers in the courts.
