The company Oceane voyages sold a package travel deal to Mr x... including the organisation, for him and his family, of a stay on the island of Réunion from 4th – 16th April 2010 and return flights leaving from Paris. Due to a volcanic eruption which resulted in the closure of the air space, Mr x and his family were forced to extend their holiday and accept a return flight to Marseille on 20th April 2010. Mr x contended that he had been exposed to additional costs in relation to his accommodation, as well as that of his family, from 16th – 20th April 2010 and the cost of renting a car to ensure return to Paris and claimed reimbursement of these costs from the company. The company was ordered to pay damages to the amount of the additional costs pleaded by the claimant.
