You could take BA to court to see if the judge upholds the contract, but if instead he agrees that the contract is voidable on those grounds and you lose, expect a much bigger bill than 600EUR for costs.
Interesting - if multiple parties at BA had to approve the release of the fare would / could that be viewed as a mechanical error?
