I think DrMilano was suggesting that if one quoted from a law firm's case summary, said firm could sue for copyright violation. In practice I am confident a quote would be well within the "fair use" provisions, and if someone was still worried they could instead just give a cross-reference (e.g. URL) to the law firm's case summary.

This is all doubly moot because the case law will mostly come from the ECJ, which gives very nice summaries, e.g. https://curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...t=1&cid=282678 (scroll to the end) -- and a more detailed analysis is at https://www.lexology.com/library/det...7-1dd049f3b068 , of which the key part is:

Additionally, passengers who proactively book alternative flights in anticipation of delays may not be eligible for compensation if the alternative flight results in an arrival delay of less than three hours.
I am confident no-one is going to get sued for this quote!
