Mr Justice Warby has given the go ahead for the BA group action court case<\/strong> to proceed as our firm is appointed to the Steering Committee responsible for the conduct of proceedings.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We’ve also been successful in ensuring that the deadline to claim is not as short as the lawyers for British Airways had originally wanted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

BA group action court case to proceed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The BA group action court case<\/strong> being given the go ahead to move forward is an important step toward compensation for the victims if the 2018 data breach incidents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a landmark victory in terms of cyber-attack compensation, and we\u2019ve been busy over the weekend taking on new cases and building the client group.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to find out if you\u2019re eligible to make a claim for data breach compensation. All you need to do is check your eligibility on the BA Group Action website here<\/strong>. If you can claim, you can also start your No Win, No Fee legal case by providing a little further information on the website.<\/p>\n

Deadline to claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The deadline to join the BA group action court case<\/strong> is now set to be in January 2021. This comes after the lawyers representing British Airways had initially wanted just a 17-week turnaround, which could have left hundreds of thousands missing out on the chance to claim.<\/p>\n

We are, however, recommending that anyone who is serious about claiming should start their case as soon as possible. There may be limited places in our client group, and there\u2019s also a great deal of work that needs to be done ahead of the deadline. To ensure that you don\u2019t miss out, you should start sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Plus, if there are any settlements before the deadline, you could see an earlier resolution.<\/p>\n

Join the BA group action court case<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To join the BA group action court case, visit the website here<\/strong> to check your eligibility and get your claim started right away.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re offering No Win, No Fee representation, so what have you got to lose?<\/p>\n

Claimants could be entitled to claim an estimated \u00a36,000.00 in damages. Where there\u2019s an extreme psychological reaction to the breaches, pay-outs could extend up to \u00a316,000.00.<\/p>\n

You may also be able to claim back for any losses from fraudulent transactions as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
