Aviation law: Consortium Legal secures major victory in the High Court in London

We are pleased to confirm that the High Court has handed down judgment in Fibula Air Travel SRL v Just-Us Air SRL [2025] EWHC 3259 (Comm), deciding the proceedings in favour of our client.

The litigation, ongoing since 2020, concerned complex contractual and procedural issues arising from an aircraft wet-lease arrangement and associated cross-border commercial considerations. The judgment represents a clear endorsement of our client’s position and underscores our firm’s distinctive expertise at the intersection of aviation law and international commercial disputes in support of airlines and lessors worldwide.

Consortium Legal has acted for the successful party throughout the entirety of the proceedings. As Solicitors on the record since commencement, we are grateful to our client for their continued confidence, to counsel for their contribution, and to our Bucharest partner office, Iordache Partners, for their invaluable local law support.

This outcome further reflects our ability to manage and resolve complex, multi-jurisdictional disputes before the English courts. As the Judge in the trial noted:

"It is clear from the foregoing that this litigation has been extremely hard fought. Each party has been represented by no fewer than five different barristers; Fibula's position has evolved substantially over time and the nature of its evolving case has been vigorously resisted by Just Us; and Just Us's own analysis has also evolved over time. The Commercial Court and this Court had by the time of the trial made 31 Orders. The main trial bundle has 6,438 pages; the supplemental trial bundle 66 pages; the three sets of authorities bundles (which do not include further authorities handed up during the course of the hearing) contain 22 authorities, numerous extracts from practitioner texts, and various EU regulations occupying another 1,430 pages. It may fairly be said that there cannot be many stones left unturned by each party in their search for victory." (Fibula Air Travel SRL v Just-Us Air SRL [2025] EWHC 3259 (Comm), para. [115])
