High Court refuses to grant judicial review of a determination of the respondent directing the applicant to pay compensation to ten airline passengers in respect of a flight cancellations due to strike action, on the grounds that: (a) it was unstateable that the strike could be considered 'extraordinary circumstances' within the meaning of aviation law; and (b) there was no manifest error in the decision of the respondent in relation to the examination of the existence or otherwise of extraordinary circumstances.
