It is not my job to disprove your case, it is you who has the burden of proof. I have nothing further to add.
I think you mean section 32, but thanks for your helpful contribution.
32.1. To the extent permissible by local law or regulation these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. British Airways and AGL and each Member submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts to resolve any disputes that may arise out of them.
I know that US law would take over and I'm fairly sure that the same would be true in most European nations. Certainly France when we are talking about French citizens taking the case against BA's legal entity in France. In legal history, there's a long list of companies that insert that language in contracts and an almost equally long list of court decisions striking that down.
But as I stated above, it would be foolish to take on such a legal effort. Not just in time, but in order to win such a case it would likely cost you more than just buying a few more flights to earn the 1500 TP's.
I'm just killing time while watching Arsenal try to play football.
