Stephensons are specialists in pursuing civil claims for a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Compliance with data protection law is a serious issue. Non-compliance could potentially cost a public body or local authority hundreds of thousands of pounds if that organisation should face legal proceedings for breach of data protection laws.
This is a fast developing area of law. Public bodies are becoming under bigger scrutiny to ensure that they do not breach individual’s data. If they do, then you may be able to claim compensation.
S.13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 provides that individuals may sue in circumstances when they have suffered a) damage or b) distress. This means that you only have to show that such a breach caused you some level of distress in order to claim compensation.
Again, it is important that you instruct a specialist solicitor to deal with such claims.
