Dear Mr Allway
Thank you for your email.
This case is listed for mention at Woolwich Crown Court on 18th February 2014. It is my
understanding that you have been contacted directly by Mr Simon Cordell and Miss Lorraine Cordell
in relation to ongoing legal proceedings.
Thank you for the indication that an application under section 35 of the Data Protection Act 1998
would be viewed favourably.
We make this application under section 35 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to request details of all
insurance claims submitted by Mr Rakesh Patel in relation to a burglary committed at Unit 3
Horrisons Industrial Estate. Mr Patel alleged in a section 9 statement to the Metropolitan Police that a
burglary was committed between 1st May 2013 and 8th May 2013. He alleges that goods to the value
of £8220 were stolen and damage to the walls estimated to be between £8,000 £10,000.
Our client disputes involvement in the burglary but states that he did hire out his sound equipment in
order for a private party to place arranged by persons legally squatting at the premises. Mr Cordell
was forenscially linked to the premises by DNA on a can of drink. Mr Cordell gave an explanation
for this in that he stated that he oversaw the persons using his equipment. Mr Cordell has stated that
when he arrived damage had already been caused and he has produced Facebook pictures purporting
to be of the alleged premises. It is our understanding that you are in possession of photographs from
previous burglaries at the same premises and the damage cited by Mr Patel in his statement to the
police actually relates to damage already caused during a previous burglary and not May 2013 as Mr
Patel alleges.
We rely on paragraph section 35 (2)(a) and (b) which states:
Personal data are exempt from the nondisclosure provisions where the disclosure is necessary
(a) for the purposes of, or in connection with, any legal proceedings (including prospective legal
proceedings), or
