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.
Missing the deadline usually means missing out on compensation, and in the BA Group Action, the deadlines could be extremely short.
If you were affected by the 2018 cyber-attack incidents, you can be entitled to make a No Win, No Fee British Airways compensation claim.
The British Airways Group Action is one of the dozens of multi-party legal cases we’re fighting for justice in. As expert data protection compensation lawyers who have been helping victims claim for many years, we’re proud to be able to offer our specialised services on a No Win, No Fee basis.

If you’ve yet to start your British Airways compensation claim, it’s not too late to sign-up to the pending group action that we’re fighting for justice in.
We’ve been representing victims of the data breaches since news of the cyber-attacks hit the headlines last year. We’re now representing a number of victims who have been affected, and we’re pursuing legal action for them on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If you’re serious about claiming, we urge you to make sure you sign-up as soon as you can to avoid missing any key deadlines that may occur during the course of the legal action. Here’s a little information about what you need to know.
You may have seen advertisements on how to claim Equifax compensation for the recent settlement in the U.S., but what about claims for the victims affected here in the UK?
We have a different jurisdiction here and it’s a different way that we’re pursuing compensation for UK victims. We’ve been acting for a number of people affected by the breach in England and Wales since news of the incident hit the headlines in 2017. Although we’re over two years on from the discovery of the breach, you still have time to join the action for compensation.
This is one of the dozens of different data breach group and multi-party actions we’re fighting for justice in. Make sure you start your claim as soon as you can, and here’s a little more information about what’s going on.
If you’ve been affected by the recently announced Lancaster University data breach incidents, we may be able to assist you with a No Win, No Fee compensation claim.

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.
You can join the British Airways compensation action by answering a few simple questions here to check your eligibility. If you qualify, we just need a little information and we can get you on board right away.
News of the recent £183m initial fine proposed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has naturally triggered a fresh influx of new claims. We’re happy to keep taking more clients on in addition to those we’ve been acting for since news of the scandal broke last year.
But people do need to act as soon as they can. There may be deadlines that could fast approach, and missing the deadline could mean missing out on your chance to claim.
A number of people have been unsure as to how the £183m BA GDPR fine works in relation to compensation. They are two separate things, and here’s how it works.
Firstly, the record fine is the current proposal, and British Airways and their owner (IAG) can appeal the decision. Whether any appeal will be successful remains to be seen, but crucially, this is not yet the final fine. However, there will likely be a fine. Even if an appeal is successful, we expect that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is still going to issue a fine.
In terms of compensation, this is dealt with separately as part of a pending group action that you can sign-up for here.
The British Airways compensation deadline for the pending group action we’re representing people for could come around incredibly fast.
The lawyers acting for BA appear to be wanting a quick cut-off date which could see this close off as the fastest Group Litigation Order (GLO) ever processed. As such, we must warn anyone who has yet to join that the deadline for submitting a claim could be very, very soon.
You can sign-up to join the action now, and we recommend that you do so as a matter of urgency. Missing the deadline could mean losing your chance to claim compensation as a victim of the 2018 data breaches.
With this week’s news focused on big GDPR fines for British Airways and Marriott, we can only assume that more fines are on the way.
Our lawyers are fighting for justice in over 25 different data breach group and multi-party actions. That shows just how many big legal cases we’ve taken forward, and some of the incidents took place after GDPR was introduced last year. The BA Group Action is one of those, and the initial fine of £183m shows just how serious the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is on punishing offenders.
With the likes of the Ticketmaster data breach and the Well Pharmacy incidents yet to involve penalties, we expect more big fines to be on the horizon.
