Travel & Aviation Bulletin – Summer 2024

Welcome to the Summer 2024 issue of our Travel & Aviation Bulletin, edited by Christopher Loxton.

Whether you’re mourning the end of your summer holidays, or longing for the start of them, we hope this latest issue will provide some welcomed insights relevant to travel and aviation practitioners alike.

From the termination of package holidays, to the jurisdictional challenge in the proceedings concerning aircraft detained in Russia, to relief from sanctions and expert evidence, to the contributory negligence and the limits on damages under Montreal Convention, we hope there is something in here for everyone.

In this edition:

• Richard Campbell examines the CJEU ruling in Tez Tours (C-299/22) which sought to answer that question.
• Adam Riley and Tabitha Hutchison consider the points concerning jurisdiction that practitioners can take-away from this decision in Re Russian Aircraft Operator Claims [2024] EWHC 734.
• Daniel Goldblatt and Katharine Bailey explore the practical implications of the Court of Appeal’s decision in Yesss (A) Electrical Ltd v Warren [2024] EWCA Civ 14; [2024] 1 WLUK 217, with a particular focus on late applications for expert evidence which may jeopardise a trial date.
• Christopher Loxton analyses the recent judgment of HHJ Saunders in Wuchner v British Airways (July 2024).
