  • Is it illegal for a recipient to share a senders privately emailed documents?

    Unsure if this is a GDPR issue or something else. I sent an email a while back, which contained a screenshot of a my bank statement as a part of a private financial settlement.
    The recipient later forwarded that data to her fellow Directors of the Company, of which I am a Shareholder. The Directors then sent this info to the Compnay solicitors who included it in a bundle of evidence put forward to the civil courts.
    Is that a breach of anything, or is it legal and above board?

    Which courts was this sent to? How many courts are dealing with your various cases?

      same courts (civil) same case. part of the disclosure included these private attachments. I just cant understand if its a breach of GDPR, or something else or nothing at all? It feels like a breach of something fundamental to be able to distribute private stuff without consequence.

        OK, one singular court.
