The Appeal Court in Bialystok in its judgment of 14 June 2017 (ref. no I ACa 43/17) ruled that interest for late payment of compensation will be paid by the insurer from the date of the request for payment, and not from the date of judgment.
The Court of Justice of the European Union in its judgment of 7 September 2017 (case 559/16) held that compensation due to passengers in the event of cancellation or long delay of a combined flight shall be calculated according to the aerial view of the distance between the departure airport and the destination airport. The fact that the distance traveled during the flight is greater due to the transfer does not affect the calculation of the amount of compensation due.
