If you haven\u2019t heard about the huge developments for the British Airways hack compensation action following the court case earlier this month, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

A Group Litigation Order (GLO) was officially approved by Mr Justice Warby. This means that claimants can now join together as part of one huge set of proceedings so the common issues can be fought together.<\/p>\n

This is important. It saves costs and court time, and avoids the need for hundreds of thousands of people to go to court across the country. There\u2019s also strength in numbers, and only by grouping together can we look to give ourselves the best chance possible of winning the battle for justice.<\/p>\n

The deadline to claim was also set for 2021; a significantly longer amount of time than the lawyers for BA had originally desired. Further, Your Lawyers was appointed to the Steering Committee that\u2019s responsible for the conduct of the action.<\/p>\n

What happens now?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
