Virgin Media data breach court case: warning about deadlines!
It’s likely that a formal Virgin Media data breach court case will be established which will then be used to manage the claimants as part of one action.
When this happens, there will usually be a court-imposed cut-off date for people to join the action. To benefit from the decisions made in the court case, including settlements, people will need to be a part of the action. For example, there may be an established Group Litigation Order (GLO).
Here’s a very important warning about making sure you join the action before any deadline hits. In fact, we urge you to take action now because missing the deadline is very easy, and it happens to thousands of people in many different actions.
