Draft Recommendations on insurance distribution and their impact on foreign insurers
Will the proposed Recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority on insurance distribution affect the activity of foreign insurers operating in Poland through a branch or under the EU’s freedom to provide services and passporting scheme?
Will giving up on a delayed flight exclude compensation?
Since the landmark Court of Justice ruling in 2009 in C-402/07, Sturgeon, it has generally been accepted that when it comes to the right to compensation from an air carrier under the Air Passengers Rights Regulation, a flight delay of more than three hours puts the passenger in the same position as if the flight were cancelled. But in 2024, the Court of Justice held in C-474/22, Laudamotion GmbH v flightright GmbH, that the case is not so clear-cut, and there are somewhat different rights and obligations associated with flight delay than with flight cancellation.
