Claim for injuries caused by obese air passenger rejected
The Daily Telegraph has reported that a claim against British Airways for £10,000 in damages has been rejected by a county
court judge. The passenger was claiming damages because he was forced to sit next to an “obese 23 st man” for a 12-hour flight.
He said the “obese” passenger forced him to sit in a “position of unnatural posture”. However, the judge decided the airline
was not at fault for his alleged injuries.
