It has recently been reported that one group of claimants in the British Airways group action have reached a settlement with the opposition. The action against the airline was initiated in response to their 2018 data breaches, in which hundreds of thousands of customers had their data subjected to unauthorised access. Although this initial British Airways data breach claim settlement has taken place, our claims against BA will continue until we win our clients the compensation that they deserve.<\/p>\n
One law firm decided to negotiate a settlement of their claims, but due to an agreement of confidentiality, the number of the claims settled and the values of the compensation pay-outs have not been publicised. However, when compared with the 420,000 people affected by the data breach, we estimate that only a small subset of those affected have been awarded compensation so far.<\/p>\n
We are continuing to pursue our legal action against BA, and we are confident that we will be able to succeed with the action and obtain damages for our clients. If you have yet to make a claim, make sure to start your legal case here now<\/strong> to avoid missing out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The British Airways data breach claim settlement only encompasses one group of claimants represented by a law firm in the Group Litigation Order. This means that there are thousands of claimants outside this group who have yet to obtain the compensation they deserve.<\/p>\n Although the compensation sums have not been revealed, one key detail of the British Airways data breach claim settlement is that it does not amount to an admission of liability from BA. The airline has denied responsibility for the claims since the beginning, and so the continued non-admission seems to have been included as a condition of the settlement. This is quite typical of these kinds of settlements in group actions, however.<\/p>\n In our view, it is clear that BA must know of its culpability. This may be the reason why the company has sought an early settlement of certain claims, as it may be attempting to avoid further scrutiny and higher financial costs.<\/p>\nSome claimants to receive compensation in initial British Airways data breach claim settlement <\/strong><\/h3>\n
