I think from the below that BA would be perfectly entitled to ask the court to adjourn this hearing until after the October case is finished.
Unite is to launch a legal battle at the High Court this week over the removal of travel perks for up to 7,000 cabin crew who went on strike for 22 days this year at a cost to BA of £150m.
The dispute over travel perks, which include heavily discounted fares, are a bitter point of dispute between BA and Unite.
A date has not been set for the appearance but Unite said it is expected before the end of the week.
A Unite spokesperson said: “We are being forced to defend our members and their rights to just treatment in the court room because BA refuses to play fairly at the negotiating table.”
In a similar move, Unite will come head to head with the British flag-carrier in the Court of Appeal on 11 and 12 October, over claims that BA’s reduction of crew numbers on long-haul flights was a breach of contract.
Unite took BA to the High Court earlier this year over the disagreement, but the court threw out the dispute and ruled in BA’s favour.
