We are very pleased to have received compensation payments for over 5000 of our clients in the ongoing PSNI Data Breach Group Action, totalling almost £40 million, as reported by the BBC and other media:

A universal offer of £7,500 was made by the PSNI following significant hard work and negotiation after the data breach in August 2023. The data breach group action has been unprecedented in this jurisdiction in terms of both scale and complexity.
We have helped more than 5,000 clients and we are happy to achieve a resolution to the case for so many of our clients. We are delighted to be able to bring our clients some closure in this matter and we are grateful to them for their patience throughout.
Our focus now turns to our remaining clients who have not accepted the universal offer, and we will continue to work hard to ensure that they are fairly compensated for the impact of the data breach.
If you are one of our clients in the data breach group action and have any queries at all about what is happening, please contact us by email at PSNIDataBreach@edwardssolicitors.com
