Dismissing the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) petition against Travel Republic over an alleged violation of Atol regulations, the High Court upheld the not-guilty ruling pronounced by Westminster Magistrates’ Court last year. Lord Justice Elias’s certificate of permission, however, grants the CAA the right to take the case to the Supreme Court, a privilege that it plans to utilize.
Defending CAA’s decision to register the case, a CAA spokeswoman stated that protecting consumer interest has always been CAA’s main concern. The spokeswoman added that if the Supreme Court accepts the case, it will have to decide whether or not the passengers, in the cited case, were entitled to receive Atol protection for their entire holiday. The whole case broaches the topic of uniform protection of consumer interest for different holiday packages.
The spokeswoman also expressed CAA’s satisfaction over the Divisional Court’s decision to endorse the case as one of public importance. She reiterated that such a declaration was imperative for the case to be heard by the Supreme Court.
