you mentioned
Both BA's and Unite's legal teams are reviewing the wording of the section of the agreement, which refers to ACAS involvement and that is causing a delay, in case the offer wording has to be amended, prior to putting it to the vote among Unite members.
That's not the spin that Unite are putting on it - at least the postings on the UniteBA site don't tally. They say
We were hoping that the ballot on the offer would have been posted to you by now. However it is being delayed by legal issues. One of these is the litigation mentioned in Walsh's side letter. What exactly would have to given up by both sides in the claims going through courts is supposedly still not finalised. This is a very important part of any deal, and you need to know exactly what claims we would both have to concede.
Now I concede that they say that the litigation is one of the issues, not the only issue, but your post tends to refute this, suggesting an altogether different reason. Does this mean that the issues around the current and any potential future cases have been resolved ?
