...Although a local fire department were brought in to help move Mrs Soltesz into three seats assigned to her, they could not lift her out of the wheelchair.
After half an hour of trying to move her, the captain asked them to leave the plane.
'We had 140 passengers on board, and they had connections and needed to travel,' said Lufthansa spokesman Nils Haupt.
'The question was never the seat belt. The question was the mobility of the passenger.'...

A few more things, in random order:
- it seems they were returning as originally planned
- she did gain a notable amount of weight making previous accommodations no longer work
- hubby's mindset ... “They managed to get her over there and were obligated to get her home.”
- if it were my call ... DISMISSED, next case please.

Kidney problems ...water weight.deewee said:
Obesity is one of the leading causes of kidney disease, but having the disease itself can be a factor in other kinds of weight problems.
One of the side effects of kidney disease is fluid retention, also called edema. A normal kidney naturally flushes out water, salt and other fluids from our bodies on a regular basis, but a malfunctioning kidney is much more slow at this process. The result is weight gain that results from retained water as the fluids are not properly excreted into the urine. Normally this weight gain and puffiness can be seen in certain areas of the body, such as the ankles, feet, legs, hands, belly and face. As stages of kidney disease advance, this water retention can lead to additional problems.

And it still isn't the airlines' faults ... that is a major change in the needed accommodations to assist her in her travels.
And I have to ask ... how do you get to such poor health and not have plans for medical care while you're in another country (that you regularly visit) for an extended stay?

Vilma was already severely obese and in poor health from diabetes and kidney disease. She had lost a leg and used a wheelchair.
Chuck Bennett reports for the New York Post that the couple again went back to the vacation home to make other arrangements as Vilma became sicker and sicker. Neither trusted the doctors in Hungary, especially because they wouldn’t be familiar with her lengthy medical history, Janos said.

I just don't see a court hearing this based on the fact she had a lengthy medical history of severe obesity and poor health from diabetes and kidney disease. She had lost a leg and used a wheelchair. :dunno
