The preamble to the Regulation has no legal force, it is taken as guidance by the court but it is not binding.

Thanks for the clarification.

Then as the directive stands, Ryanair should have stumped up in the first place.

I still sympathise with MoL's situation as it does seem daft, but its in black and white.

Edit : But wouldn't the Montreal Convention apply here? Or does EU261 override it?
