BERLIN, July 20 (Reuters) - A court in Britain will start proceedings on Nov. 19 in a case between Lufthansa (Xetra: LHAB.DE - news) and Laudamotion over leasing contracts, Lufthansa said on Friday.
* Lufthansa wants to end a contract to lease planes to rival Laudamotion, claiming that the Austrian carrier has failed to meet payments
* Laudamotion, which is backed by Ryanair, has rejected the allegations
* "We welcome the fact that the court wants to clear this up quickly," a Lufthansa spokesman said (Reporting by Victoria Bryan Editing by Tom Sims)
