Which recent developments deserve harder questions?
Three developments shape this interview agenda without establishing a market-wide trend:
- Contract wording changed. Hill Dickinson reported that MYBA released revised terms in April 2025, including an entire-agreement provision and additional compliance requirements. Ask which edition and amendments govern the proposed booking. (hilldickinson.com)
- Disruption remains a live legal issue. Hill Dickinson published a dedicated analysis of cancellation, force majeure and frustration on April 7, 2026. Its subject is contractual risk allocation—not a promise that every disrupted holiday qualifies for reimbursement. (hilldickinson.com)
- Market commentary needs transaction evidence. IYC’s June 30, 2026 podcast episode addresses charter-market conditions. That provides an interview lead, not independent proof that a particular buyer can secure a discount. (podcasts.apple.com)
The practical standard throughout this document is: ask for a dated example, identify its limitations, and establish what would change the answer.
