However, this was not to be the end of the issue. This decree had to be served on Ryanair.
As they have no official offices in the jurisdiction, sheriff officers sought to give the decree to an employee in person.
Despite Ryanair being one of Edinburgh Airport’s biggest carriers, and flying from other Scottish airports including Glasgow and Prestwick, the sheriff officers were unable to find anyone who was not a subcontractor.
The decree was instead sent to Ryanair’s head office in Dublin.
On the final day possible in October 2025, Chris was told that Ryanair had lodged a recall of the decree.
Ryanair list a number of grounds for recall. The main one being their claim that Rosie did not complain upon arrival, which they take as “evidence that the baggage was delivered”.
Rosie and Tina dispute this, saying they both spoke to airport staff as soon as they arrived and were told the suitcase would be following soon.
Ryanair also said it could not have any liability for items that should not have been in Rosie’s checked-in luggage such as her iPad, her sports watch and her headphones.
