Do we have the authority?

On some invoices [tickets] and letters the PPC ask for, or spout bits of irrelevant law, stating we are obliged to supply the name of the driver who parked in their car park. We know this is b0llocks.
However assuming we were willing to give the drivers name, do we have the authority to do so, without the permission of the person involved?

I know we have under the road traffic act a responsibility to know who is driving, and if we fail to supply the driver details to an official body, then we as the RK are liable. This law I suppose gives us the right to disclose the identity of the driver.

If we asked the driver this mickey mouse company want your name and address and they say I don't want you to tell them. Do we have the right to give it?

Not that I am thinking of doing so, I was wondering what a judge may say if this was used as a defence, I wasn't the driver and the driver did not want me to disclose their details?

Unlesss the ppc persuaded a county court judge to issue a Norwich Pharmacal Order to force disclosure I don't think there is any duty to name the driver in a civil litigation unless there could be sure and certain evidence that the RK was bound by any contract alleged to have been agreed to by the driver as in all people with a proprietary interest, so the ppc tries to bind a finance company by virtue of their imbecilic sign in a car park, or the Norwich Pharmacal the order was due to a large accident compensation claim. It would be inappropriate for the small claims track imho.
