More claimants sign up to join the BA Group Action

There has been a surge in people signing up to join the BA Group Action lawsuit following this month’s announcement of our appointment to the Steering Committee that’s conducting the litigation.

The hearing at the High Court of Justice on Friday 4th October 2019 resulted in some key victories for the claimants’ side that we’re a part of. Mr Justice Warby gave the go ahead for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) to be formed, allowing all claimants – which could reach up to around 500,000 – to bring their claims together. This can allow for a far more efficient way of managing the cases and fighting the common issues, and we were delighted with our appointment to the Steering Committee as well.

Affected by the BA data breach? important legal advice

If you were affected by the BA data breach, we have some incredibly important legal advice that we need you to know about now.

There’s a huge hearing set to take place this Friday. At this hearing, the deadline to join the BA Group Action may be set, and there might not be a lot of time for you to start your case.

Our recent exclusive in the media revealed our concerns about the lawyers acting for British Airways and their initial desire for a short cut-off date to join the action. This kind of short cut-off period, if put in place, could lead to hundreds of thousands of people missing out on thousand so pounds in compensation.

If you’ve yet to claim, now is the time to do something about it.

British Airways court case date

There are set to be important developments that will likely define the deadlines in the upcoming British Airways court case for the 2018 cyber-attacks.

Following on from our press release in the Daily Mail last week, we revealed that Claimants may only have 17 weeks to join the court action. Those who miss the final cut-off date could lose £6,000.00 based on the average potential pay-outs. In extreme cases, valuations could reach as high as £16,000.00.

There’s a lot more to it than just registering basic information, and even more to it than simply agreeing for a lawyer to represent you. If you’re serious about claiming, you need to take action ASAP!

British Airways strikes are another hit on the airline’s reputation

Following last year’s serious cyber attacks that affected hundreds of thousands of their customers, the recent British Airways strikes have undoubtedly contributed to another big hit on the IAG-owned airline’s public image.

We’ve spoken to the media and have been in the news ourselves about the issues we have with the way the legal cases are going.
