Hi all,
I want your opinion, I was going through an employment tribunal and the solicitor sent the court bundle (which included my full medical report, full details on me and salary details) by standard post. The bundle was never received and the solicitor referred us to the post. I want to be compensated for this major error, god know who has my data.
What does everyone think?

What financial loss have you suffered, because that's what you can claim. Otherwise, report it to the ICO.0

The DX System is often used by lawyers to send documents between legal offices. https://www.dxdelivery.com0

That's a good point, and what we don't know is who the recipient of the documents was: if it was the OP then DX won't apply, but if it was the ET then they might possibly be on the DX system.0 -

"God" (if you are in to deities might) but you don't know if anybody has!
Recorded delivery is little more secure, it only gets a squiggle from whoever answers the door and doesn't prove delivery to a specific individual.
What do you expect them to do? Send it by some highly expensive secure service that demands to see proof of identity before handing it over?
Yes it is unfortunate but occasionally things like this happen!
Compensation? For what? Unless you can prove negligence and you have suffered a quantifiable loss forget it!0 -
Things happen, you haven't lost anything, get over it.It's nothing , not nothink.0

Not everything in life leads to compensation you know.0

I would keep an eye on your credit report, but if you did get compensation, the maximum is about 200 to 250 I think.Shampoo? No thanks, I'll have real poo...0 -
I've seen at least one court case where a data breach (in respect of a private parking invoice) gained the injured party £750. But the usual amount is around £250.0
