Although not strictly case law, it’s useful to know that other people have had recognition that the voucher is worth something when making this kind of claim:

Yes, the fact that others have won similar cases has been mentioned on this thread numerous times and, as you say, that is not case law and is no precedent, so if someone chooses to take this sort of case to MCOL, they need to make careful, precise arguments whilst avoiding giving the impression they are breaking new ground. BA’s argument is very simple and seductive and from reading some of the erroneous comments on this thread and the old one you have linked, it’s not entirely surprising BA chalks up quite a few wins.
