For victims to be able to have the best approach for joining the official BA data breach group action, here is some important information that you should know.<\/p>\n
In October 2019, the formal Group Litigation Order (GLO) for victims of the 2018 cyberattacks was given the go-ahead by Mr Justice Warby. Since then, and even before, a number of law firms have been marketing their services for victims, which is common. However, this can cause some confusion, and so in the interests of clarity, here is some useful information about the official action; because there is only one.<\/p>\n
Having seen previous incidents of law firms missing deadlines and misrepresenting their clients, appointing the right firm is important.<\/p>\n

The formal BA data breach group action was given the go-ahead in a hearing that we attended on 4th<\/sup> October 2019<\/strong><\/a>. By order of the High Court of Justice, we were appointed to the Steering Committee that is responsible for the overall conduct of the litigation.<\/p>\n The idea of the GLO is that all the cases will then form as part of this singular action that we are on the Steering Committee for. The common issues can be fought as one case, and the overall aim is to secure compensation for anyone who is a part of the official action.<\/p>\n
