Too complex for "amateur" advice, however well thought out and however
logical.
It seems to me that you need a formal legal answer on this one. While the
circumstances seem simple, they are rather more complex in reality. An
allegation of "ill Intent" may also mean that B perceived A as assaulting B.

Subject: [data-protection] Advice needed - customers in conflict
A customer (A) held the door open for another customer (B) at our public
institution. A let go of the door and it hit B on the arm. Staff assisted
to B, and recorded the incident in an incident log book. Some time passed.
Then B wrote to our institution stating that they felt that there had been
ill intent on A's part, and requested the name and address details of A.
There are no criminal proceedings underway (not yet anyway). Do we withhold
or disclose the information to B? If B wants to sue for damages, the they
will ultimately need the details of A. But since there are no proceedings
on the horizon, disclosing A's details could be hazardous, if B were to do
something in revenge.
Does anyone have any advice?
Cheers
Graeme
