This short video from Pinsent Masons looks at how the rise in data breach compensation claims could affect HR. Katy Docherty explains that the BA example is very relevant for HR professionals. In the context of employment disputes, "This kind of claim does not go through the employment tribunal." Instead, "These claims will go through the civil courts and those types of claims have different procedural requirements from the employment tribunals, they've got different deadlines, and so specialist advice should be sought immediately."
