Thanks all for your helpful replies.
This is what I have said in the claim:
On 12 February 2018, I reserved 2 business class tickets with the Defendant (BA)from LGW to TPA on behalf of Companion and me out on 5 January and back on 19 January 2019.Payment was made with 137,500 Avios airmiles+an American Express Companion voucher+£1,006.80 cash. Companion was downgraded to premium economy on the return leg. A goodwill payment of USD259 was paid at TPA but despite correspondence with BA, no reimbursement per EC261/2004 has been paid.The claim is for a refund of the cash equivalent of £825 (cost to buy Avios from BA)plus refund of cash fees of £161 after deduction of taxes at 75% reimbursement for the sector per Article 10.2.c. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 26/01/2019 to 21/03/2019 on £986.00 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.28.
