Case Name
Russel Dover, et al. v. British Airways PLC (UK)
Case No. 1:12-cv-05567-RJD-CLP
District Court for the Eastern District of New York
Case Summary
Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in which they alleged that BA charged fuel surcharges to Settlement Class Members on frequent flyer reward flights that breached the Executive Club Contract between BA and Settlement Class Members. BA denies that it did anything wrong, believes that the EC Contract permitted it to impose a fuel surcharge, and that the fuel surcharges that it imposed on Settlement Class Members were appropriate under the EC Contract. Accordingly, BA has vigorously defended Plaintiffs’ allegations. The Parties, however, have agreed to settle the Litigation to avoid the cost, delay, and risk of continuing the Litigation.
