Compensation as inbound plane couldnt land due to fog

Bit of a complicated one, but I wanted to ask opinions on this situation.

I was supposed to be on a 7pm flight from Southampton to Leeds. The inbound plane from Leeds to Southampton (which we would go out on) didn't land due to fog, ans was diverted to Bristol, at which point our flight was cancelled.

Meanwhile all flights were taking off in the fog without issue.

My question is, the previous flight was the one affected by fog, our flight was affected by the plane not being there.

I found a precedent online where someone argued this in court and won, as the weather must affect the flight in question, not a previous one.

Flight Delayed Due To Bad Weather - Can I Claim?

We ended up getting put in a taxi for 5 hours back to Leeds, and getting home at 2:30am... long night!

Anyway, like I said, just wondered if anyone had seen anything similar.

Cheers,
