EC261 is a EU Regulation enshrined via Statutory Instrument into UK law, and so Ts and Cs cannot just wash that away. Actually BA doesn't formally say EC261 doesn't apply - judging from the paperwork I've seen - and certainly pay the related cash components without quibble. However they have (initially) rejected the several calculations used by claimants for the voucher aspect. I'm not aware of BA ever succeeding in maintaining that in court, though BA have been successful via CEDR in this area.
