For once I also feel a teensy weensy bit sorry for MOL. This kind of eventuality is precisely what insurance companies are for, surely?
Do they have a list of all the potential "acts of God?"
Who actually decides whether an "act of God" has occurred. Her herself?
Why did MOL (who sells so much worthless insurance), not buy some extended cover himself?
If volcanic ash is an act of God, what happens to claims related to accidental engine ingestion of volcanic ash? "Sorry squire, that's an act of God, so not a normal engine ingestion claim!"
The insurance industry should have picked up the tab here, and not MOL or any airline.
PS. Mind you, I bet he regrets taking a measly £900 claim to court, and for that - serves him right!
