In many instances of this nature, such a matter may form into a group or multi-party action because many people may have been affected and may have lost control of their personal information. The GDPR can entitle anyone who has lost control of their personal information and has suffered distress as a result to recover damages. If any losses and expenses have also been incurred then these can be considered, but they are not essential to pursuing a case.

The issues in respect of local authority cyberattack matters was in the media again recently following concerns about the 2021 Gloucester City Council cyberattack. The media coverage surrounds a report that is understood to be in the process of being published.
The initial Gloucester City council cyberattack reportedly resulted in the local authority having to completely rebuild its servers at a cost of over £800,000. It is understood that those in managerial positions at the council have taken steps to make sure that an incident of this nature does not happen again.
Given the extensive wealth of very personal and sensitive information that councils hold, it is important that they have strong policies and procedures in place to protect the data in their charge. Local authorities should expect they can be targets for cyberattacks given the nature of the information that can be involved, so they must have leading cybersecurity in place at all times.
If we believe that your case has prospects of succeeding, we could offer to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that we can write off our legal fees if the case does not succeed, and all you need to do is comply with reasonable terms and conditions in place.
