Given our participation in the action on the whole, we were appointed to the Steering Committee that\u2019s responsible for the conduct of the litigation. Here\u2019s a little information about the case so far.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Claims launch in 2018<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>News of the\u00a0 cyber-attacks first appeared in the media in September 2018. Recognising that this was precisely the type of case that we specialise in, we immediately issued our notification that we can take cases forward.<\/p>\n<p>We entered into correspondence with BA\u2019s lawyers and liaised with other claimant law firms in order to move <strong>the British Airways data breach group action<\/strong> forward.<\/p>\n<p>We have agreed to represent our clients on a No Win, No Fee basis. We\u2019re not registering information or passing claims on, we are &#8211; and always have been &#8211; actively taking cases forward.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Application for British Airways data breach group action issued<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unusually, the actual application for the British Airways data breach group action was issued by the Defendant solicitors (i.e. BA\u2019s legal representatives). Normally, it\u2019s a claimant law firm that would issue this.<\/p>\n<p>The concerning part about the application was that BA\u2019s lawyers were wanting a short cut-off date for people to <strong>join the BA Group Action<\/strong>. Our concern was that potentially hundreds of thousands of people could miss out if there was only a short period of time to start a case.<\/p>\n<p>We still get new enquiries from people who missed the deadlines for previous actions, and a short cut-off date could easily have led to this happening.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key court hearing 4<sup>th<\/sup> October 2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The key court hearing that followed the application for the British Airways data breach group action took place on 4<sup>th<\/sup> October 2019. This hearing was set to put in place the deadlines and the scope for the action.<\/p>\n<p>Given we have been at the forefront of this battle for justice, we attended the hearing. We were successful in helping to ensure that the cut-off date to join was longer, which is now set for January 2021, and a GLO (Group Litigation Order) was given the go ahead by Mr Justice Warby.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Joining the British Airways data breach group action<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Joining the BA data breach group action for compensation is simple. <strong>Check that you\u2019re eligible to join on the website here<\/strong>, and then complete the information to start a case.<\/p>\n<p>Take care! A number of law firms have started marketing their services since the formation of the GLO after the October hearing. Some may well be just registering people\u2019s information, and not all law firms who claim to be a good choice even attended the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to cases like this, it\u2019s always worth being vigilant!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the British Airways data breach group action getting the go ahead at the key hearing in early October, here\u2019s a little information about the action and our firm\u2019s position within it.
