We were approached immediately for advice and legal representation, and we have agreed to act for any victim who comes forward for our help on a No Win, No Fee basis.

British Airways claim deadline

We’re issuing an early warning in terms of the British Airways claim deadline that may be scheduled to land very soon.

With our lawyers working in dozens of group actions for a number of years, and having seen people miss the deadlines a lot, it’s important to start a case sooner rather than later. We’re still getting fresh enquiries for one of the recent group actions we’ve been involved in where the cut-off date elapsed last year. We really can’t stress enough how important it is that you get your claim set up and started as soon as you can.

BA & Marriott Fines Show Importance Of Cybersecurity Justice

The recent record-setting British Airways and Marriott fines that are to be enforced by regulators show the importance of cybersecurity to prevent breaches, and justice for the victims when an incident occurs.

What we saw was two major organisations whose systems were breached when we should be able to expect big corporations to protect our data. We should be able to safely assume that these large, wealthy organisations can – and will – invest in solid cybersecurity. But both have undoubtedly fallen short, and the result is huge fines and claims for compensation for the victims.

The levels of the provisional fines to be enforced shows how seriously the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is taking breaches of GDPR. The compensation actions that we represent people for are the way forward when it comes to justice for victims, which is not accounted for as part of regulatory fines.
