Regarding the names on the court petition.

I warned several pages back, when someone queried why the name on the original petition was not Unite, that this was to prevent them being liable for costs if the court finds in BA's favour.

Be very careful about putting your name to this petition because you could lose your house and other possessions if it goes the wrong way.

The court may have required more names on the petition before allowing it to proceed so that BA have a chance of recouping their costs if they win.
I'm only speculating but is the reason why Unite was not on the original petition, because Unite itself is not a party to the actual contract of employment between BA and the employee?

I wonder if the remaining BASSA reps will put their money where their mouths are and join the court case as claimants?
