    Ex sent private emails to solicitor - is this breach of DPA?

    I think I already know that the answer is no as I don't think the DPA relates to private individuals but...

    My ex-husband has forwarded on lots of private emails I sent him to his solicitor, which included information about our daughter's mental health issues. Is this a breach of the Data Protection Act?

    Thanks for any help

    Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of.

      Hi FemmeFranglais,
      You're right your e-mails to family and friends would be classed as domestic purposes so are exceptions under s36 DPA 1998 and therefore not a breach.
      If we can help further with the issue, give us a shout.
      I am a qualified solicitor and am happy to try and assist informally, where needed.

      Any posts I make on LegalBeagles are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as legal advice. Any practical advice I give is without liability. I do not represent people on the forum.

      If in doubt you should always seek professional face to face legal advice.
