Let us give you an expert overview as to how they work, when they can win, and how our expertise can help you.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been involved in large group action cases for almost a decade, with our first data action launched 5 years ago. With Steering Committee appointments for actions that range from the thousands to the tens of thousands, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does a data breach group action work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A data breach group action is where one or more victim of the same incident or action comes together to claim as a group.<\/p>\n<p>What happens next can then depend on the size of the group, or whether the opponents is prepared to admit liability, and perhaps how unique the issues are to each case. Commonly, one of the following may happen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Claims are pursued as singular cases, but the joint and similar issues can be narrowed as one. It may be that cases issued with the court will be issued together as one set of proceedings, but the individual issues in each case are resolved separately. It may also be that there\u2019s one or a small number of Defendants (opponents) to claim against;<\/li>\n<li>Claims are simply pursued separately with perhaps many different Defendants being pursued, but they stem from similar issues &#8211; sometimes known as multi-party actions;<\/li>\n<li>Claims are formally brought together into a Group Litigation Order (GLO). This is where a Steering Committee is established of one or more law firms that will then be responsible for the overall conduct of the action. Each case is brought together into one action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In any event, there can be precedents set to help resolve cases, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/data-protection-breach-compensation-amounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>data breach compensation pay-outs <\/strong><\/a>can still be based on the individual aspects of a claim.<\/p>\n<p>The first GDPR GLO in England and Wales is the <strong>BA Group Action<\/strong>. Given our experience in this niche and complex area of law and our experience in group actions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/blog\/breaking-your-lawyers-appointed-to-steering-committee-in-ba-group-action-court-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>we were appointed (by order of the High Court of Justice) to the Steering Committee<\/strong><\/a>. This appointment reflected our commitment to justice having been fighting for victims since news of the cyberattacks broke back in 2018.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do we succeed with an action?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Succeeding with a data breach group action isn\u2019t easy, especially when there are many people claiming.<\/p>\n<p>The larger the action, the more likely it can be that the opponent(s) will try to defend cases. They (or their insurers) don\u2019t want to be paying out potentially millions or billions of pounds. The estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/blog\/british-airways-group-action-case-green-light-a-landmark-decision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>combined pay-out for the British Airways action alone could hit the \u00a33bn mark<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It can also be the case that big companies and multinational corporations will hire some of the best law firms in the world to defend them. We\u2019ve seen this in actions we\u2019ve been involved with, and it can make the process of succeeding with an action harder.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good reason as to why it\u2019s important that people claim with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/who-we-are\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>specialist group action lawyers<\/strong><\/a> like us. Big actions usually mean that clients need significant funding to fight some of the biggest companies in the world, and insurance is key to protect clients in the event a claim doesn\u2019t succeed. We can tell you from considerable experience that these costs can be in the millions and can even hit the tens of millions mark in some of the bigger actions.<\/p>\n<p>The law is clear in making sure that victims of a data breach can be entitled to make a claim for compensation, and there\u2019s no room for big companies to hide. In actions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk\/equifax-data-breach-compensation-claims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Equifax<\/strong><\/a>, we\u2019re confident we can win because the breach stemmed from a known security vulnerability that they failed to patch. In fact, it was recently reported that US court papers stated that Equifax had set a username and password as \u201cadmin\u201d (for both), which is just asking for trouble. It\u2019s as bad as setting a password as \u201cpassword\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>In other actions like the <strong>BA Group Action<\/strong>, the fact that the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) has set their intention to find at \u00a3183m shows how bad the breach was.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What victims need to do<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Victims who wish to join a data breach group action can then be entitled to make a claim for compensation, and we offer No Win, No Fee representation.<\/p>\n<p>We can also offer funding and insurance for actions that we\u2019re taking forward and meet our criteria.
