In NL it is about arrival in the last city on your through ticket. Most airlines pay up without problems, as they know that no Dutch court would rule in their favor. Consequently we also do not generate jurisprudence.... By the way: this is not always a good thing. If you have planned a long (but <24hr) layover with hotels etc and your first flight is delayed but you still arrive on time at your final destination, you get nothing.
The first scenario happened to me a few times before (not on QR but CX, KL and AF) and the process was swift every time. KL even offered the compensation proactively via a call while waiting for my connection. I will report back on QR's behavior in the matter.
