Hi Everyone
Not so much of an issue but HMRC Inspector has lost financial documents of one of my clients. I've reported it to ICO as a security breach and informed my client. Got a phone call from the inspector to confirm they had lost them, I informed them that as this was a telephone call and neither side have the telephone conversation recorded. I stated that I would be grateful if the inspector send me an email or letter confirming our telephone conversation. This was midday Thursday, as of yet no email confirmation. I emailed the inspector on Friday to basically confirm the telephone conversation and inform them that I have reported the breach to ICO and informed my client. Once again no reply and the inspector has opened it 9 times. A couple of questions:
Has anyone ever been in this situation before?
Could my client potentially sue HMRC for the security breach? (More a case for me to speak to a litigation solicitor I believe)
Has anybody had experienced on the protocol of HMRC on data protection breach?
