It is rather unlikely that UK law would apply when you buy an ex-USA ticket in the USA. One reason being that it is difficult for a US citizen to go to court in the UK in case of a dispute. I would expect that BA has a US-based (fully owned) subsidiary which is the legal entity that sells tickets (and represents BA for any other purpose) over there.

I believe that within the EU there is even a regulation about the case that when you buy a product from a company in another member state, you can start legal action against that company in your local court.

The one time when I had a credit balance, the credit card company was happy to refund that directly into my bank account when I asked them to do that.
