Roughly three and a half years after an Ottawa man’s flight to Portugal was delayed by over 24 hours, the Ontario Superior Court has ordered Air Canada to pay the passenger $15,000 in compensation.

The latest ruling comes more than a year after a small claims court sided with the passenger, Rejean Landry, and his two adult children. Landry, who represented himself in small claims court, said he believed the case was relatively straightforward and was confident he’d win.
