I misunderstood your question, sorry

Presumably some DJ somewhere agreed with the airline once, and the claimant didn't take it any further.

I am surprised the airlines really give a toss, how many three year old 261 claims can people really be bothered to drag up? Thomson must have spent a fortune on defending that 1400 gbp claim at the Court of Appeal.

If I were the airline I'd have offered no comment, but insisted on boarding pass stubs being presented during the claim procedure: almost everyone will have thrown them out after two years.
