Group litigation serves as a vital tool in the English legal system, empowering individuals to collectively seek justice against entities whose actions have caused widespread harm. By consolidating similar claims, it enhances access to justice, promotes judicial efficiency, and ensures that wrongdoers are held accountable on a broader scale.
In today’s world, cybercriminals are getting smarter, and their tactics are constantly evolving. If you’re not taking the right precautions, your personal and financial data could be at risk. The good news? A few simple steps can go a long way in keeping your information secure.
In today’s digital world, personal data has become one of the most valuable commodities—especially for cybercriminals. From financial details to personal information and even login credentials, hackers actively seek out this information to commit fraud, identity theft, and other illegal activities. Stolen data is bought and sold on the dark web, fuelling a vast underground economy where criminals profit at the expense of unsuspecting victims. But why is your personal data so valuable to them?

In 2023, we continued to witness a tumultuous landscape of cybersecurity breaches, with many high-profile organisations affected, including Arnold Clark, Capita, Cambian, Parasol, The Metropolitan Police, and more. With a growing prevalence of ransom demands by hackers, and threats to release sensitive personal data onto the dark web, millions of individuals are at risk. A true data protection champion, we acted promptly and proactively to address the aftermath and implications of these breaches, offering legal counsel and support to affected parties where appropriate, and emphasising the critical need for immediate protection.
As the pace of technological advancement continued, our data was used and shared with ever more organisations. As such, the risk of data breaches increased, especially as too many organisations failed to take data protection seriously. Holding those who failed to meet their regulatory requirements to account, we pursued several group actions. And, in 2022, we were delighted to settle our Ticketmaster group action claim.
As we continued to deal with the ongoing Covid pandemic, 2021 was another noteworthy year for data protection. The challenges of keeping personal information safe – especially with a sizeable at-home workforce – continued. However, despite having months to step up to the challenge, too many organisations failed to put the necessary data protection processes and training in place. Worryingly, most UK businesses and individuals experienced at least one data breach during the pandemic.
In 2020, as the world struggled to overcome the challenges brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, data protection issues were thrust into the spotlight as the challenges of an at-home workforce and the need for remote technology and health-focused apps became apparent.
