How do _you_ know the individuals have consented? What checks would _you_ normally carry out to establish identity? Have _you_ carried them out in this case? I would suggest that, whatever course of action you decide to follow, it would be good practice before making any disclosure for you to inform the individuals concerned of the request (ensuring they have adequate time to seek legal advice and obtain an injunction preventing disclosure, should they wish to do so). -- Graham Smith ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at : - http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
