Major brands. High-stake lawsuits. And the potential for substantial compensation.
This month, several significant group litigation claims are advancing. If you’ve been affected by issues ranging from business interruption during the COVID-19 pandemic to data breaches, there may be a claim relevant to you.
Business interruption lawsuits over COVID-19
NFU Mutual faces two major group actions as policyholders allege the insurer wrongly denied their claims after they were forced to lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- In South Farm Limited and Others v. NFU Mutual, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP is leading a group action on behalf of 37 rural businesses
- In Innventure Limited & Others v NFU Mutual, Barings Law’ s case is currently working through the High Court and the claimants filed their reply to NFU Mutual’s defence last month.
You could be owed money if:
- You held a business interruption policy during the COVID-19 pandemic
- Your claim for losses was denied
Where to sign up:
These cases could play a big role in deciding whether insurers were right to deny COVID-19 business interruption claims. If they succeed, it could open the door for similar claims against other insurers too. We’ll keep you posted on how to join if new claims come up. *

Co-op data breach claim
In spring 2025, cyber criminals told BBC News they had stolen huge amounts of customer and employee data from the Co-op. While the supermarket initially said there was “no evidence” personal details had been compromised, it later confirmed the data breach.
A significant number of Co-op customers could now be at risk, and lawyers are now considering legal action on behalf of those affected by the Co-op data breach.
You could be owed money if:
- You are a current or former member of the Co-op
- You have received notification that your data was involved in this breach
Where to sign up:

Google faces £5 billion UK class action over search advertising practices
In April, a class action lawsuit – potentially worth £5 billion – was filed against Google in the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal. The lawsuit alleges Google abused its dominant position in the online search and search advertising markets – leaving businesses with little choice but to rely on Google’s advertising services.
As a result of Google’s monopoly, lawyers argue advertisers and, potentially, consumers were forced to pay higher costs. Google has denied the allegations and stated its intention to vigorously defend against the claims.
You could be owed money if:
- Your UK-based business purchased Google search advertising services between January 1, 2011, and April 15, 2025
Where to sign up:
This is an “opt-out” class action, meaning eligible UK businesses are automatically included unless they choose to opt out. For more information and updates on the case visit the official claim website.*
McDonalds sexual harassment claim
Last month, McDonalds was in the news again over its alleged inability to stop harassment at the fast food giant.
No one should have to experience sexual harassment, abuse, or a hostile work environment – especially not young people just starting their working lives. Sadly, many McDonald’s workers, some as young as 17, have reported serious incidents of sexual misconduct, harassment, bullying, and unsafe workplace conditions – with hundreds bravely coming forward to make a claim.
You could be owed money if:
- You experienced sexual harassment, abuse, bullying, racism, or related misconduct while working at McDonald’s (any location in the UK).
- You were 19 or younger when the incidents occurred.
- The incidents happened within the last several years.
Where to sign up:
