So, what are your legal plans? As soon as anyone raises a case like this they make it public, so your "can't for legal reasons" is a cop out.
They may be interested parties in this thread who are willing to fund it.
Something similar happened with the money lost in the Crown Currency situation.

Post your plans and perhaps you'll get some assistance.

legal plans, simple court action if airmiles don't ringfence the airmiles already bought under the old scheme to be used under the contract in which they were bought in. Look up contract law if you want to know the finer detail

Regarding funding, thank your for gernerous offer, but i dont actually require funding for it. Airmiles might appreciate it though as it will be in the small claims court, they won't be able to claim thier defence fees win or lose

Do you really think that major companies have never had their T&C's challenged in court and lost.

Which ones were you thinking of?

Doesn't that depend on the reasonable behaviour of the claimant?

It depends, but in any case before it gets to court, i will have acted ina resonable manner, as will others have

It may be best take professional legal advice on this. Not sure if you understand the CPR that apply.

Perhaps do a bit of research so you know what you are getting yourself into.

Having had many succesful wins in court, i am fully aware of the CPR, but thank you for your concern
