The regional court argued that <strong>only payments made to an account the passenger disclosed vis a vis the airline for refund purposes<\/strong> are regarded sufficient to relieve the airline from its obligation to pay.<\/p>\n<p>These rulings especially have an impact on cases in which it is uncertain whether a passenger already received a payment or when exactly he\/she received the payment.
