Indeed DB............but as a body accountable to its membership for the use of their subscriptions Balpa does not have the luxury of concealing the origin or quantum of its resources to fight this case........unlike a litigant in person who is under no obligation to disclose the fact that his legal fees are underwritten.
To alay the fears of those non BA members who might themeslves need recourse to the legal resources of Balpa in relation to non related matters some reassurance from the general Secretary that appropriate resources are available without prejudice to the routine business of Balpa might be appropriate.
