Passengers Are Not Automatically Responsible for Fines Imposed on Airlines Estonian Court Declares a Lufthansa Standard Term Unfair

Abstract:

The standard terms of airlines foresee the semi-automatic reimbursement by passengers of fines imposed by national authorities on the airlines. In certain circumstances, this mechanism is contrary to Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair contract terms. Greater protection of consumer rights by national courts is needed.
