Language of the case: Spanish
Juzgado de lo Mercantil n° 1 de Palma de Mallorca
Applicant: Eventmedia Soluciones SL
Defendant: Air Europa Líneas Aéreas SAU
1.Article 5(1)(c) and Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91, read in conjunction with Article 7(1) thereof,
must be interpreted as meaning that, in the event of cancellation of a flight, the right of air passengers to obtain the compensation referred to in those provisions from the operating air carrier and the corresponding obligation of that air carrier to pay that compensation arise directly from that regulation.
2.Article 15 of Regulation No 261/2004
must be interpreted as precluding the inclusion, in a contract of carriage, of a clause that prohibits the transfer of rights enjoyed by air passengers against the operating air carrier by virtue of the provisions of that regulation.
