Airline – Ticket Cancellation – Damages – Evidence – Contract – Remedies – Court Authority
This case involved a claim for compensation after an air ticket had been incorrectly cancelled because it was mistakenly thought it had been stolen. The key point in this case was the lower court had authority to assess the damages which did not have to be merely the cost of a replacement ticket. The airline had also not provided sufficient evidence that the mistake had been caused by another party.
