Air Asia in the UK?

Many thanks!

One more question - can I also make Blick Rothenberg a co-defendant as they are allowing Air BNB to use their business address?

[R0b]

You can't sue every Tom, Dick and Harry just because they are listed as authorised to receive correspondence or be used as a business address, that would be ridiculous. You need to have a valid legal claim against someone to be able to add them as a defendant so if your contractual relationship is with Air BNB then you sue Air BNB. You wouldn't sue Air BNB's lawyers simply because they are representing Air BNB, that would be absurd.

[Wonderme]

I do understand that R0b . In this case they arranged with Airasia to pay the judgment and acted as brokers, They now want nothing to do with it after a settlement agreement was signed and Airasia have ever since not made payment. Blick Rothenberg are point blank refusing to connect me with their contacts at Airasia.

[R0b]

I would only repeat what I said in my last post, you can't sue someone who is not party to a contract or you do not have a valid legal claim against them. If Blick Rothenberg choose not to act any further you cannot force them to comply.

You can make an application to the court to get them to hand over information of those contacts at Airasia but it will be at your cost and expense which is not normally recoverable. Even if you do obtain those contacts, is that really going to achieve anything because those contacts can simply ignore you again and then you've wasted time and money on an application against Blick Rothernberg.

You need to be smart about this and go to the root of the problem. If Airasia have refused to pay up then you should be going back to court to obtain judgment in breach of the settlement agreement (and post-judgment interest if possible but not guaranteed). Once you obtain that judgment assuming they have not paid you by then, work out whether they have flights operating in the UK and if so, consider instructing High Court bailiffs (the value has to be £600 if I recall) to look at seizing a plane and they will most certainly pay up then.

Thank you R0b I appreciate your help.

Quick question - Air Asia are using the registered address of an accounting firm in London. Blick Rothenberg. Details in the attached.

If I have a judgment against Air Asia (this specific legal entity) at this address (Blick Rothenberg have already acknowledged to the court that Air Asia use their address), then would/how would enforcement work?

[atticus]

Quick Answer - Without going back over this and other threads, didn't we establish long ago that this company has no assets at this accountant's address? So how would enforcement work? Answer: it would not.

EDIT - R0b has given excellent advice further up this page..

[Wonderme]

But if they have it as their registered address on Companies House, as per the attached, then is the whole office space not subject to enforcement?

[Wonderme]

Blick have stated that "we allow Air Asia Europe to use our address as their registered UK address"

[Wonderme]

Would this be considered an Airasia flight? Looks like a codeshare flight. As you can see, I selected 'Airasia flights' only.

What is it about this company not owning assets at the premises of the accountants who provide a registered office address that you do not understand?

[Wonderme]

I can't get my head around the idea that a company can use a business address in the UK to run their affairs, get the perks of such etc, yet said address and the business allowing this can not be held responsible if they are found to be acting illegally.

If I could read the image I would be able to comment on it. The real question is whether the flight is on an aircraft belonging to your judgement debtor. If the code share is with, say, BA, using a BA plane, then you are not going to be ale to enforce your judgement against BA's property. Same principle if the code share is with another carrier.

Well try harder. It has been explained often enough.
