Group actions for data breaches
We have launched a significant number of group actions for data breaches, leaks and hacks in the UK, with these types of cases now making up for the majority of the large actions that we pursue for people.
We do not expect the rate of new incidents to slow down, and we expect that we will continue to represent significant numbers of people for privacy compensation cases. Given that one small issue or a single cyberattack could affect potentially millions of people, it stands to reason as to why group and multi-party cases now commonly involve some form of privacy matter.
To discuss privacy compensation cases for group and multi-party actions, please do not hesitate to contact our team here now for free, no-obligation legal advice.

As this data leak started several years ago, anybody who has yet to pursue a claim is at risk of missing out, and we are at an advanced stage for those who we represent. Our group action claim consists of thousands of people who are claiming with us on a No Win, No Fee basis – you can find out if you are still eligible to claim by starting the case process here now.
Data breach class action – our speciality
A data breach class action – or group action as it is often referred to as in the UK – can allow for the efficient pursuing of many different cases that have similar issues.
These usually stem from a single event that has affected many people, such as a cyberattack or a mass data leak of information. It is much more efficient to group cases together and deal with all the similar and identical issues rather than having to spend time with many cases in many different courts across the UK.
As we are involved in dozens of group and multi-party actions for data breaches, this is a particular expertise of ours. You can speak to our team here for free, no-obligation legal advice now.
SIXT Data breach event – legal advice
The SIXT data breach event is understood to have stemmed from a cyberattack, with those who are potentially affected being notified about what has happened.
We have already taken instructions forward to pursue claims on a No Win, No Fee basis, and this event may lead to a group or multi-party legal case. If you have received confirmation that you have been potentially affected by this incident, please do not hesitate to contact our legal team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

NHS data breach legal action
An NHS data breach legal action for compensation could encompass hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people bringing their cases in an efficient way together.
As our name confirms, we are The Group Action Lawyers which means that we specifically specialise in this niche and complex area of law. We represent thousands of people in dozens of group action cases, including for some of the most infamous events: such as the emissions issues arising from the “Dieselgate” scandals, and many data breaches such as the British Airways cyberattack and the Equifax hack.
We can provide No Win, No Fee legal services to eligible clients who place their case with us. Our team is also able to provide free, no-obligation legal advice here now.
The Equifax group action for compensation
The Equifax group action is a case for compensation that has been ongoing since 2017 when news of the cyberattack hit the headlines and people were notified of their involvement.
Victims of the hack could be entitled to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. They may also be entitled to claim for any losses and expenses that might have arisen as a result of fraud and theft, but you do not need to have lost any money to be able to claim.
You may still be in time to pursue a claim – we strongly recommend that you contact our team here now for free, no-obligation advice to find out, if you have yet to start your case.
Ticketmaster group action claim for compensation
The Ticketmaster group action claim for compensation is at a very advanced stage, and we may soon reach a point where we are unable to accept any new cases.
At this late stage, there are no guarantees if you are not yet signed up for a case with us. It is worth speaking to our team here now to find out if you can still claim and, if we can help you, you may be able to benefit from our No Win, No Fee legal representation.
Watford Community Housing data breach group action
We continue to fight for the rights of people affected by the Watford Community Housing data breach event that took place in early 2020.
Thousands were affected by the email leak, and we were immediately contacted by concerned victims. Having quickly assessed that there was a case to answer, we launched No Win, No Fee legal action without delay.
You may still be in time to start a claim if you have yet to do so, but do not delay. Contact the team here now.
Anniversary of the GDPR – fourth year
This year’s anniversary of the GDPR marks the fourth year since the inception of this important piece of legislation that came into being in May 2018.
In that time, have we seen enough in the way of change? Are we now better protected, and are we now afforded greater rights? In theory, we should be – yet there have still been a number of high-profile incidents that we represent people for.
Equifax data breach compensation action
The Equifax data breach compensation action is one of the dozens of privacy cases that our Group Action Lawyers are fighting for justice in on behalf of victims.
Eligible claimants could be entitled to receive compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. Privacy compensation pay-outs can amount to thousands of pounds, and this is a niche area of law that we have a great deal of experience working in.
This data breach did take place almost five years ago. Some time-frames have already passed, and you will need to speak to our team as soon as possible to see if you are still in time to pursue a case.
