The official BA data breach group action

Here’s some information about the official BA data breach group action. There is only one formal Group Litigation Order (GLO) action, which is important for people to understand.

The primary reason as to why we’re discussing this is because there are a lot of law firms saying a lot of different things when it comes to data breach cases. Several are claiming to be “the experts” and claiming that they “lead the field”, but it’s vital to look beneath these soundbites to understand who you’re really dealing with. And since the British Airways GLO was formally given the go-ahead by Mr Justice Warby in October, many more lawyers are now getting involved.

Here’s some vital information for you.

About the official BA data breach group action

The official BA data breach group action was formed into a formal GLO after a vital hearing at the start of October 2019. There’s now a deadline to join which falls in January 2021, and those who wish to be a part of the compensation action will need to sign-up to join the formal GLO.

There’s more to it than just signing-up with a solicitor. Before the deadline, you will need to make sure that you have provided all the information and evidence that’s required to be a part of the GLO. You will normally need funding and insurance as well, which is there to make sure that you have the means to be a part of the action, and that you are covered if something goes wrong.

Although we believe that we will be able to succeed with the action, insurance is vital. In fact, we can tell you from years of group action experience that you will normally need to be insured in order to join a GLO.

Our role in the action and the GLO

We have been fighting for the rights of BA data breach victims since news of the breaches came to light, representing thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that we remain at the heart of the battle for justice as we always have done from the start.

As soon as news broke of the cyberattacks, we took action. We now act for a large group of claimants, and we attended the hearing and were appointed the position on the Steering Committee.

Since the GLO has formed, many more lawyers are now touting for cases. It’s totally up to you as to who you instruct, but we always advise people to be careful. Some lawyers didn’t even bother attending the hearing, and we understand that some have started aggressively marketing for cases despite their lack of experience and history in the action. Again, it’s totally up to you, but we always recommend that it’s better to be safe than sorry. So, make sure you ask questions and check who you’re dealing with.
