What I find remarkable about this ruling is that the ECJ is now 'making' law through their interpretations.
The regulation clearly omits compensation for delays, and the record in drafting the regulation clearly indicates that this was intentional. While the EC wanted it to neither the Council nor the Parliament agreed.
The court ruled that the Regulation SHOULD have included it, and the arguments made on why it didn't include it were not valid, in their opinion.
I am surprised that we haven't heard anything from the Parliament about the ECJ overruling a decision they had made.
Does anyone have a link to the actual ruling. I'd like to read it myself.
