Wasn't there some case in a German court that said that flight coupons could be used in any order?
BTW, IANAL but my understanding is that German law is closer to French Napoleanic law than British/American style common law.
My guess is that the issue is whether the EC261 regulations take precedence over any national contract law or similar.
