Group and multi-party actions for government data breach claims

We can pursue government data breach claims as group and multi-party actions where many people have been affected by the same or similar incident. It could be a case where an email from a government department has been sent to many people which has exposed the personal details of the recipients. It could be that information has been accidentally published online or has been made available online, such as in the New Year’s Honours data breach we previously helped people with. There can also be cyberattack incidents where a government department is compromised, and any persons whose information is affected could be eligible to pursue a case.

Group and multi-party legal actions in this style for government data breach claims is simply about making sure that we can pursue a legal action more efficiently. We can bring claims together so we can pursue the similar elements of cases rather than having to bring thousands – or perhaps even tens of thousands – of cases individually, which is not efficient.

If you have been involved in incidents where the matter could involve a group or multi-party action for government data breach claims, please do not hesitate to contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.

No one is above the law

No one is above data protection law, and it is important for government departments to make sure that they comply with the GDPR to protect the information that they store and process. It goes without saying that government departments will store and process a significant wealth of very personal information, much of which could be very sensitive. As such, the impact on anyone whose information has been exposed or misused in this kind of setting could be substantial.

Just because they govern the country does not mean that they are above the law. Data protection policy compliance is essential for all. As such, if an employee of a government department is responsible for a breach of the GDPR, the government department itself can be liable to compensate victims.
