Ali v Luton Borough Council: QBD 27 Jan 2022

‘In this case it is not in dispute that an employee of the Defendant, Rhully Begum, breached the rights of the Claimant by accessing and disclosing to the Claimant’s husband information about the Claimant (and also the two young children of the family) which was stored on the Defendant’s IT system. The issue is whether the Defendant is vicariously liable for Ms Begum’s admittedly wrongful, and indeed criminal, acts.’
