I would argue this is a downgrade and would request the 75% compensation as per EC261. That ready meal really is not cutting it. MCOL and done.
And if BA really let this go in front of a judge then I'd gladly risk the £60 to see their lawyer explain to a judge why this was not a downgrade. I'd probably pay more than £60 for that pleasure.
