The Cremades & Calvo Sotelo legal team, representing the claimants, has submitted the second application for compensation, which demands a compensation payment of 10'000 Euros for each passenger.
The sum in question has been requested in order to compensate passengers for personal injury caused, for hotel expenses and transportation costs - amounts that are different for each person affected , and some of which have not been able to be quantified.
Cremades & Calvo Sotelo believe this to be the "largest class action ever filed."
A period of six months since the application was filed has been allowed in order that AENA can prepare their defence.
This move is essential as a first step that must be taken, however it is one that the legal team expect to be rejected by AENA, and as such the case would then be referred to the Central Court of Administrative Disputes of the National Court.
This will ensure those affected can then claim damages caused by the wildcat ATC strike who abandoned their posts on the 3rd and 4th of December 2010 in a number of Spanish cities.
The president of the Association of People Affected, Elena Fuentes, was "very pleased with how the case is developing," with increasing confidence that the law is on their side.
