I spent an hour on Sunday shredding all the bits of paper with any personal data on. My wife seems convinced that if it has your name and address on (all junk mail) or any part of a card number (receipts) it must be shredded - that’s what the banks recommend apparently. I keep telling her my name and address is in the phone book (it isn’t as we’re X directory from when I used to work at home) - am I supposed to shred all those too?
I’m just worried my shredder isn’t cross cut so someone (a very patient someone) could glue it all back together (Malcolm did it in an episode of spooks - not actually my shredding you understand).

Anyway I don’t need to worry any more - the government has helpfully passed on my name, address, NI number, bank details and who knows what else to some random address. There should be a law against it - oh, I think there is. Can anyone tell me how many data protection act rules they have broken and what redress I’m entitled to?

In a civil case, a judge can allow the jury to question a document-destroying party’s intentions. For example, judges in certain cases will tell jurors they should assume missing documents are harmful simply because they were destroyed–even if they never see the contents.
