This does not appear to be retrospective legislation, more like a reinforcement of existing rules. Having be delayed six hours last year, I could not get a even a coffee out of the airline. They will do anything to avoid paying up.
I do think the rules should also apply to train companies. Eurostar being the worst. If you are delayed on a late train from Brussels, the canteen (very poor Belgian cr@p) closes and you can't even get a drink of water!
"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell
was the 3 hours a clarification where the term delay has been abused to mean more than 3 days?
If so its probably not retrospective just clarifying a term.
If it is a significant change that would change the game in a big way then it can't be retrospective (like BN66 / IR35) but if its like the VAT man disallowing £10 worth of Dowe Egeberts annually as its more expensive then Nescafe then most businesses should suck it up.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
