Respondent
- Parties: The appellant was Dr. Gábor Lukács. The respondent was Air Canada Rouge LP.
- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside a Federal Court decision. The trial judge's decision dismissed the appellant’s action. The appellant wanted to be awarded statutory compensation amounting to $400 under s. 19(2) of the Air Passenger Protection Regulations, SOR/2019-150, plus a moderate allowance for the time and effort that he devoted to preparing and presenting his case and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred relating to the appeal. An issue was this case was whether the time when a flight’s cancellation was communicated to the passenger would affect the passenger’s entitlement to standardized compensation if the passenger opted for a refund under s. 17(2). This matter also involved s. 86.11 of the Canada Transportation Act, 1996. This case is ongoing.
- Date: The hearing was set on Mar. 19, 2025.
- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.
- Amount: No financial award was specified.
