St Philips Chambers and barrister Wendy Miller KC<\/strong> have formally declined a data protection request from Lee Thompson<\/strong>, founder of The Cummins Accountability Project (TCAP)<\/em>, concerning a contested case summary published on the chambers\u2019 website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Thompson\u2019s original complaint, sent on 7 June 2025<\/strong>, requested the removal of a case summary he alleges misrepresents the legal status of an ongoing Employment Appeal Tribunal matter (EA-2024-001327-RS<\/em>) and discloses sensitive personal data without consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The request invoked data rights under UK GDPR Articles 15 (access)<\/strong> and 17 (erasure)<\/strong>. In response, St Philips Chambers issued a refusal on 13 June 2025<\/strong>, categorising the request as \u201cmanifestly unfounded\u201d and asserting it was part of a \u201cpattern of conduct\u201d motivated by personal grievance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear St Philips Chambers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am writing in relation to the case summary recently published on your website concerning \u201cT v C\u201d, referencing representation by Wendy Miller. I am the claimant in that case, and I note the content published raises significant concerns around data protection, prejudice, and mischaracterisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
