Brilliant coverage on this topic! Going through this now, employer fighting to not release emails over two years due to effort and’ disproportionality’. Its really to protect the staff involved in the case - reported to ICO

Thanks Terry, what's to stop an employer holding back certain communications though ? Seems crazy they would hand that over surely knowing what the outcome would be

@terrygorry 4 жыл бұрын

Well they're legally obliged to hand over but some employers may be tempted to get the shredder earning its corn😳

Hi Terry, thanks for this it’s been very useful for my case. Could you advise please, you mentioned that in the emails the claimant was referred to as ‘V’ her first initial I presume, in requesting a SAR should I also be requesting all correspondence between respondents with the subject matter of my initials?

No easy to prove constructive dismissal. You do need to keep records in writing of your own interaction when and where necessary.

No, it is very difficult. But when the other party hands you the evidence it makes things easier 😉

Hey Terry, just wanted to ask: If you requested a DSAR for a client should the company send the data to you and not directly to the client? Is sending the data directly to your client instead a scare tactic or something? Thanks

@terrygorry Жыл бұрын

It depends on how the request is worded but I do not see how sending personal data to the owner of personal data, at his solicitor's request, could be seen as a threat. Maybe I am naive and trusting 😉🤔

Thank you Terry, was this data request made while the employee was still employed or after she had been dismissed ?

@@terrygorry Thank you Terry, I've just read it though it doesn't specify when the request was made, it says , "at some point a data request was made" Two catch 22 situations : 1. If the request is made after resignation does the Employer still need to comply ? 2. If the request is made while you're still employed you give the game away that they are planning a case against the employer, no ? Thanks for sharing this article and your insight 👍

Is it possible for an employer to exclude such slam duck evidence for a data access request without getting caught

@terrygorry 3 жыл бұрын

Lawfully? There is one or two limited exceptions, I believe, of what has to be disclosed. Unlawfully? Maybe..
