"Hopefully the OP can confirm the full name of the claimant."

Also hopefully the OP will arrange the usual excercise of contacting the DVLA to find out who obtained their data during the relevant period.

Finally DVLA replied and here is the result, not sure if it is any help though.


Thanks!

It helps a lot as there are now 2 data breaches: -

1. Your data has been obtained from DVLA by Mr Szmidt's company, (Capital Car Park Control Ltd), and then given to his sole trader business, (Terry Szmidt t/a Capital Car Park Control), (who have issued the claim); these are two SEPARATE legal entities.

2. Capital Car Park Control Ltd are also in breach of their KADOE agreement.

3. We don't know which legal entity, (if any), has a contract at this site so there may be further data breaches.

I wonder how I can use this information in court to help defend the case? Or do I need to supply this additional piece of evidence now hoping that the case will be thrown out? Thanks

You'd put it in your witness statement with attachments as exhibits and state the Claimant is the wrong party and the evidence suggests the various companies have been illegally sharing DVLA keeper data, which is expressly disallowed under the DVLA KADOE rules.

Standard guff, likely on the way to a discontinuation as many DCB Legal cases end up. Read this thread ....

Well done. Yay!

A discontinuance = a win.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

Calling @Umkomaas to add you to the list...

And we sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the private parking draft Impact Assessment this month?

So nothing to do with the various data breaches then!
