When could a Virgin Media GLO be established?
Some clients and media contacts have asked us when we will know about any Virgin Media GLO (Group Litigation Order) that could be established.
As it’s early days, it really is hard to know at present when, or if, a GLO may be established. As a leading consumer action and data breach compensation law firm, we can look at similar examples to compare to, and advise about what may happen.
For the victims, all you need to do is make sure you sign-up and start your No Win, No Fee case right away. As long as you’ve received confirmation that you were affected, you should be eligible to start a claim immediately.
Steering Committee: what is it and how does it work?
If a formal Virgin Media data breach group action court case is formed, it’s likely that a Steering Committee will also be established. What is this, and how does it work?
As a leading firm of consumer action and data breach compensation experts, we’ve been appointed to Steering Committees before. We’re currently on the one for the first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales, the British Airways data breach action. If the Virgin Media data breach action follows a similar course, we may see one for this case too.
If a formal court group action is established, that’s when a Committee will normally be required.

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.
