Our lawyers have been talking to the Daily Mail about the present position regarding the ongoing British Airways class action compensation case for UK victims.
We’re trying to ensure that those who have yet to start a claim know that time may be running out, and that they should sign-up for the BA Group Action without delay. We believe that the actions of the lawyers representing the airline could be an attempt to limit the deadline for joining the action to just 17 weeks. This could lead to potentially hundreds of thousands of people missing out on their chance to claim.
Those who have yet to start a claim should do so as soon as they possibly can.
With the potential for a court cut-off date of just 17 weeks, anyone who has yet to sign-up and join the British Airways class action is being urged to do so as a matter of urgency.
On average, Claimants may be able to recover around £6,000.00. In some cases, where the impact is extreme, valuations could stretch up to £16,000.00.
Aman Johal, Director of Your Lawyers, said:
“This is a new low for British Airways, a disgrace. It has let down hundreds of thousands of customers by losing their card payment details. Now it is failing them again by giving everyone affected just 17 weeks to claim rightful compensation for the distress caused.
Never mind ‘To fly, to serve’, BA should change its tagline to ‘To fly, to swerve responsibility’. I encourage everyone affected to act quickly to ensure they don’t miss out.”
If you miss the court deadline to join the British Airways class action, you could miss out on the chance to claim thousands of pounds in compensation.
In our experience, trying to join a group action once the deadline has passed can be incredibly hard. You normally need to have a very good reason for doing so, and you will usually have to apply to the judge to join. The reason that you ‘didn’t know’ is not normally an acceptable excuse. We know in a previous action a firm missed the deadline due to funding problems, and the judge presiding over that action refused their late application.
We still get contacted now (we had one today) by those who missed the recent VW emissions court deadline. Unfortunately, we’re having to turn people away.
That’s why we say that it’s incredibly important to join as soon as you can, or you could miss out on what you’re owed.
It’s easy to join the British Airways class action. You can sign-up now via the BA Group Action website where your eligibility to join the case is checked, and where you can launch your claim right away.
The next key hearing is set for early next month, and we recommend that you get started as soon as you can.
