Judgment:
Nuremberg District Court, judgment of March 24, 2023 – 22 C 6651/22
In this case, it was determined that passengers are entitled to compensation if a flight segment of a journey with multiple connecting flights is delayed.
The plaintiff sought compensation for a delay of more than three hours on one segment of her journey. The court ruled in her favor, clarifying that the different flights are to be considered separate segments if they involve different dates and longer layovers.
