The landmark BA group action court case has been given the go ahead to proceed as a Group Litigation Order (GLO) by Mr Justice Warby, with Your Lawyers appointed to the Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee firms will generally oversee the overall conduct of the proceedings, so we’re delighted with the decision. We’ve also succeeded in ensuring that there’s a reasonable deadline for people to join the action, which was something of a contended issue when BA’s lawyers had previously been in favour of a short cut-off date.
Although Claimants may now be able to join the BA Group Action up until around January 2021, we’re urging anyone who wants to start a case to do so sooner rather than later.
BA group action court case given green light: what this means
The approval of a GLO for the BA group action court case is an important step in the fight for justice for the hundreds of thousands of victims of the 2018 cyber-attacks.
This is a landmark case: the first data breach compensation GLO in the new GDPR era. We’re therefore excited to be on the Steering Committee of this important battle for justice, with this action being one of the over 40 different group and multi-party actions we’re involved in.
We believe that the BA Group Action for compensation will be able to succeed. The approval of a GLO means that hundreds of thousands of claims can be brought together, and there’s strength in numbers.
How does the claim work?
The BA group action court case last Friday that has paved the way for the GLO means that victims will be able to join the formal proceedings that will be put together over the coming months.
We’re offering our representation on a No Win, No Fee basis because we’re confident that we can succeed with the action.
All you need to do to check if you’re eligible to join the BA Group Action is go to the website here and answer a few short questions. If you can join, you can also sign-up and start your case right there and then as well.
Join the BA group action court case now
Although the deadline to claim has been extended following the BA group action court case last Friday, victims should start their case as soon as they can.
There’s a great deal of work that needs to be done, and we may need evidence and information from you before you can formally join the GLO.
To avoid any chance of potentially missing out, we recommend that you sign-up and start your case now. Claimants could receive an estimated average of £6,000.00 in damages.
