Congratulations to Michael Rawlinson KC of 12KBW, featured as The Times Lawyer of the Week today.

Michael represented a couple who were refused compensation by BA Cityflyer for a delayed flight arising from crew illness. The Supreme Court ruled that airlines cannot rely on crew illness to avoid compensation for delayed travellers (Lipton v BA Cityflyer). The judgment paves the way for thousands of similar claims and gives guidance on EU and UK law post-Brexit.

The couple, Mr and Mrs Lipton, were represented by Michael Rawlinson KC and Corinne Novell of 12KBW, Max Archer (formerly of 12KBW) and Daniel Isenberg of 11KBW instructed by Irwin Mitchell.
