We’ve said before that a part of the reason that we’re involved in the Group Action for the BA data protection breach is because we believe that the case for compensation is strong.
That’s why we have dedicated a great deal of our time and resources to the action. We have been fighting for the rights of those affected by the BA data breach, working tirelessly on a No Win, No Fee basis for our valued clients.
We’ve talked a lot about how better data protection practices and more robust security could have prevented this breach. We’ve also talked about the fact that GDPR and earlier breaches like the Equifax hack and the Ticketmaster breach should have been warning enough for British Airways to have taken action. Had they have taken action, they could have prevented this colossal incident. And doing so could have been very simple, and incredibly cost-effective.
As a Steering Committee law firm, we’ve made the process for starting your BA data breach case quick and easy.
If you’ve yet to join the BA Group Action, here’s a little guide about whether you can join, what the risks are, and what you need to do. We’ll also touch on our important role in the litigation and give you a little insight as data breach compensation experts about how we work as well.
This is set to be the biggest data breach compensation action there has ever been. If you were affected by the 2018 cyber-attack incidents, you don’t want to miss out.
This month, the official British Airways data breach group action was given the go ahead by Mr Justice Warby, and we were appointed to the Steering Committee that’s conducting the litigation.
As a result of this key development in the action that we’ve been at the heart of since news of the cyberattacks broke last year, several firms have begun advertising for claims. Understandably, this can cause a great deal of confusion for those who have yet to sign-up to join the BA Group Action, and we thought it best to provide people with some vital information.
So, if you’ve yet to start your case, here’s what you need to know.
If you have yet to start your British Airways hack compensation claim, here’s a handy guide of a few things that you need to know about in terms of what’s going on.

There has been a surge in people signing up to join the BA Group Action lawsuit following this month’s announcement of our appointment to the Steering Committee that’s conducting the litigation.
The hearing at the High Court of Justice on Friday 4th October 2019 resulted in some key victories for the claimants’ side that we’re a part of. Mr Justice Warby gave the go ahead for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) to be formed, allowing all claimants – which could reach up to around 500,000 – to bring their claims together. This can allow for a far more efficient way of managing the cases and fighting the common issues, and we were delighted with our appointment to the Steering Committee as well.
Last Friday, the British Airways group action case was given the go ahead by Justice Warby for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) to be formed, and it was a landmark decision.
We have been fighting for the rights of those affected by the BA data breach, working tirelessly on a No Win, No Fee basis for our valued clients.
Last year’s cyber-attacks were huge in themselves. Since then, a record-setting fine has been provisionally set, and now we have the green light for the GLO to go ahead. In the world of data breach compensation claiming that we’ve been at the forefront of for many years, this really is landmark stuff.
Mr Justice Warby at the High Court of Justice has given the go ahead for the 500,000 or so victims of the 2018 cyber-attacks to sue British Airways for compensation.

If you were affected by the BA data breach, we have some incredibly important legal advice that we need you to know about now.
There’s a huge hearing set to take place this Friday. At this hearing, the deadline to join the BA Group Action may be set, and there might not be a lot of time for you to start your case.
Our recent exclusive in the media revealed our concerns about the lawyers acting for British Airways and their initial desire for a short cut-off date to join the action. This kind of short cut-off period, if put in place, could lead to hundreds of thousands of people missing out on thousand so pounds in compensation.
If you’ve yet to claim, now is the time to do something about it.
If you’ve yet to speak to the team for legal advice about the recent Charing Cross gender clinic data breach, we’re here and ready to assist you.
We were contacted for help after some 2,000 people were the subject of an email leak that revealed their personal information. Two emails relating to an art competition were sent to around 900 people in each batch using the “CC” function. This should never have been allowed to happen.
This isn’t the first breach of its kind, with our firm prominent in representing people affected by the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic leak. We’ve taken claims for compensation forward on a No Win, No Fee basis as we consider that there’s a successful case to answer for the GIC leak.
