I read the damn article. However human beings can make errors. Not noticing someone has moved out of a possible 100+ passengers is something that can be allowed to slide IMO.
Once again, sue the guy who did it. Not the airline.
Originally posted by grey foxYou'd have a point if the flight attendants hadn't admitted that they noticed the guy take place next to her and not on his assigned seat. They did something wrong, and should be accountable for it. But a freaking 200 000 is just ridiculous. She didn't suffer damages to such a magnitude.

People saying she should sue the guy who did it are in a misinformed position about law.
That man committed a CRIMINAL offence, he is to be dealt with through the criminal courts. It is not her place to sue for such an offence.
But the airline, in neglecting a duty of care, committed a CIVIL offence. It IS appropriate to sue them for such a wrong. A judge can decide if the amount is appropriate.
Saying she should sue the guy is, frankly, very silly indeed. Also, making out the airline did not have such a duty of care... is even more silly. It is absolutely their business to take reasonable precautions to ensure that their passengers are not sexually assaulted- especially so openly.

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression she could sue in civil court for some sort of reparations in such a case.

Agreed. I just personally think 200 000 isn't appropriate.
Originally posted by UshgarakOkay, well, I am not sure about it. Probably also depends on the country.
I am fairly sure it is very much not the way it works to sue for criminal offences- certainly not whilst the criminal proceedings are still going.As for the amount- maybe excessive. But maybe not. She may require counselling, for which the airline should foot the bill.
It should be evaluated properly, I just think that at least in the US there are some very excessive claims in lawsuits. A 200 000 just straight away just seems idiotic to me personally, though I do have a different understanding of what people should and shouldn't want than most.

I do think it is very much possible to to take this case to civil court, as well, to sue the Amazing Seat Hopping Jizzer Man.
