100 Days Report
There have been a number of staggering achievements within this timescale :
• Over £250,000 worth of damages secured for over 600 clients across 300 flights. This compares with only £85,000 secured by the
Civil Aviation Authority in 6 months – 3 times as much in half the time.
• Damages secured from 15 separate airlines on flights as far back as 2008.
• Over 50 sets of Court proceedings issued.
• Judgment entered on a number of cases.
• Over 4000 letters of claim sent out.
• Freedom of information requests sent to the Civil Aviation Authority, taking them to task
over their enforcement of 261/2004.
• Quoted in national media and industry press around 261/2004.
• Represented in Brussels by one of our solicitors at the 261/2004 Stakeholders Meeting on
the 29th of May 2013.
New targets set in the next 100 days for EUclaim and Bott Aviation include :
• Issue 500 sets of proceedings against airlines we believe are wrongly disputing valid claims.
• Undertake our first final hearings around technical issues for 261/2004.
• Accept 1000 new clients and send letters of claim to the airlines.
• Continue to comment on the Airline industry and their refusal to acknowledge their obligations under 261/2004.

Working in conjunction with our partners at EUclaim we are happy to provide advice, assistance and help wherever possible as we continue to grow.
