Again, can you help:- 1. If for eg. someone has left through - constructive dismissal and later decides to take legal action - are we only entitled to disclose relevant to that person i.e. if a third party is named do we then have to obtain their consent? or 2. Would this really be an issue with Personnel (and not Data Protection) as Personnel would surely have grievance procedures/policies as well as guidelines in relation to "Access to Personal Files". 3. Also, if a statement has been made against an employee - it has been written on a file (it may be a derisory remark) I presume access can be given. On the last point, I believe previous e-mails have indicated that it would be OK to say no if the file already existed previous to October 1998 and we would not have to disclose until October 2001 - although that may be the length of time a case can come to Court. Any comments would be helpful.
