British Airways class action news in the Daily Mail
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.
British Airways claim deadline
It’s important to ensure that you sign-up and join the BA Group Action before the British Airways claim deadline expires.
Due to recent developments in the action that we’re involved in, we’ve reason to believe that the deadline could be very soon. This is based on the actions of the lawyers who are representing BA in the litigation, and we believe that they’re trying to push for a short cut-off date for victims to claim.
This could lead to tens of thousands of people missing out on the chance to make a claim. As such, we’re urging anyone who has yet to start their claim to do so immediately.

To avoid missing out on the chance to claim compensation, we’re urging victims to come forward and start a case sooner rather than later.

Does the British Airways data breach fine mean compensation for victims?
The provisional £183m British Airways data breach fine means that the airline is set to be severely punished for the 2018 cyber-attacks that took place.
Fines can be levied at up to 4% of a company’s global annual turnover, and in the BA case, the fine is understood to equate to 1.5% of their 2017 turnover.
The financial penalties that can be issued under GDPR are far higher than what they used to be under its predecessor, the Data Protection Act. But what about compensation for the hundreds of thousands of victims whose information was compromised?
