Has there been any further court test cases? Did Air France and BA have to subsequently pay out where they had previously not. I can't see Ryanair paying compensation if neither Air France nor BA did.
No there have not been any further court cases - tellingly AF and BA decided not to dispute the very clear legal president that EU261 is payable in case of strike action by airline employees.

Obviously they were smart enough to let sleeping dogs lie
