law on compensation

EasyJet has also come under criticism in Germany for not observing European Union law on compensation (and assistance to passengers) in cases of denied boarding, delays or cancellations (Regulation 261/2004).

On a practical level, patent attorneys and others have said that a billion-dollar verdict might prompt Congress to change the law on compensation so that agencies pay out of their own budgets the costs of all cases they lose.

A federal law on working in factories was approved by voters, whilst a federal law on compensation for not serving in the military and a federal law on the political rights of settled and travelling people and the loss of rights for Swiss citizens were both rejected.
