Airline Company - Failure to Provide Visa Advice - Compensation
This case involved a claim against an airline company by a customer who had bought tickets to fly from Paris to the USA via Canada and had not been able to board the plane because he had not been informed about the need for a transit visa for Canada. The court considered the sufficiency of the evidence. A key issue was the customer had only bought flight tickets from the company and they had not organised the whole trip so were not required to give visa advice.
