The plaintiff is a German consumer; the defendant is an Irish airline. The plaintiff claimed for compensation and damages because the defendant had refused his access to a flight because of the lateness of the plaintiff. The plaintiff argues that he had not been laid. The court applied the standard terms of the defendant as basis for the claim and held that it was irrelevant that there was a (according to Art. 5(2) Rome I) valid choice-of-law clause in the contract of carriage.
