- A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that British Airways Plc (“BA”) breached its Conditions of Carriage (“COC”) by failing to refund them for flights cancelled due to Covid-19. By entering the Settlement, BA does not concede the truth of any claims against it; BA maintains that it did not breach the COC, that it did provide refunds, and denies that it did anything wrong.
- The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), which is overseeing this lawsuit (the “Litigation”), has not decided who is right. Instead, the parties agreed to a compromise.
- Defined terms (with initial capitals) used herein and not otherwise defined have the same meaning as set forth in the settlement agreement between the Parties (the “Settlement Agreement”).
- Whether you act or not, your legal rights as a Settlement Class Member are affected by the Settlement. Your rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Class Notice. Please read the Class Notice carefully in its entirety.
