This demonstrates how useless the CAA is. It could take the airline to court for you, where the airline could be fined up to £20,000, ordered to pay the CAA's costs and ordered to pay compensation to you. However the CAA takes so long to investigate the complaint, it will be time-barred from prosecuting.
