ECJ Joined Cases C‑402/07 and C‑432/07 (Sturgeon ea)

Defendant (Condor Flugdienst GmbH) is of the opinion that ECJ exceeded it's competence when deciding indemnities to be paid in case of a delay of 3 or more hours under Air Passengers' Rights Regulation 261/2004/EC (judgement as of November 19, 2009). German's Highest Court BGH reopened the proceedings (Case 2 BvE 2 / 08) to debate a new preliminary ruling before the ECJ in the light of the Lisbon Judgment of German's Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) as of June 30, 2009 (Cases 2 BvE 2/08, 2 BvE 5/08, 2 BvR 1010/08, 2 BvR 1022/08, 2 BvR 1259/08, 2 BvR 182/09).

Hawaii: Supreme Court ruling on Superferry under fire

The state Supreme Court ruled last Monday that a law allowing Superferry to operate before completion of a related environmental study was unconstitutional because of being written specifically for Superferry.

However, Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle announced she will ask the court to reconsider the decision which she regards as a mistake. Senate President Colleen Hanabusa thinks the Supreme Court overstepped its power in the case.
