FAQ:

Q: Will this agreement be enforceable in the UK?

Asked by Sarah on August 15th 2022.
A: Yes, a pilot agreement can be enforceable in the UK. The agreement should be drafted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it will be enforced, including the UK. To ensure that the agreement is enforceable, it should be drafted in a way that will comply with the specific laws of the jurisdiction in which it will be enforced. This means that any terms which are not compliant with UK law will be unenforceable, and could result in any action being taken against you for breach of contract if you were to fail to comply with them. It is also important to note that any terms which are not compliant with UK law may also be unenforceable in other jurisdictions, so it is always wise to make sure that any agreement you enter into complies with all relevant laws in all jurisdictions.

Example dispute

Suing an Airline for Breach of Pilot Agreement

• In the case of a breach of a pilot agreement, a plaintiff might raise a lawsuit against an airline if they can demonstrate that the airline failed to uphold their end of the agreement, such as by not providing adequate pay, not providing flight benefits, or not upholding other contractual obligations.
• Depending on the specifics of the contract and the damages suffered, the plaintiff might be able to seek monetary damages for the breach, including lost wages, breach of contract, and/or punitive damages.
• In order to win the lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the airline breached the agreement and that the breach caused them damages. Evidence such as the pilot agreement itself, communications between the parties, and testimony from witnesses can all be used to demonstrate the breach and its consequences.
• The plaintiff may also be able to seek an injunction or other equitable relief if they are able to prove that the breach has caused them irreparable harm.
• If the plaintiff is successful, they may be awarded a monetary settlement or other court-mandated relief.
