That's not the issue here. It's not about cases that have made it to court.

Ryanair only ever sends the compensation directly to the passenger - never to a third party. This is not to do with court-ordered settlements; rather, customers who selected Bott & Co to prosecute the case for them, and who then received the compensation directly from Ryanair, often refuse to "pay" Bott & Co their "share". Bott & Co took Ryanair to court in order to force them to start paying the agent (where there is one) rather than always paying the customer directly.

For a recent experience with Ryanair compensation by the writer of Gulliver (Economist's travel blog), have a look here.
