About LegalAidDataBreach

What this portal does

LegalAidDataBreach, presented as BreachRedress, is an independent online portal for people concerned about the UK legal aid data breach. It brings together information about the incident, the kinds of personal information that may have been affected, and the steps involved in registering an enquiry about a potential compensation claim.

The claim journey asks about your use of legal aid, collects your contact details, and gives you the option to provide a postal address and supporting evidence. You can review the information you enter before completing the journey. Registering an enquiry does not establish that your information was affected or guarantee compensation; the circumstances of any potential claim still need to be assessed.

Who it is for

This portal is for UK consumers who have used legal aid and want to understand what the breach could mean for them. You can read the guidance even if you have not received a notification or do not currently have evidence to hand. Our Your Rights page explains the issues in more detail, while the contact page provides a way to ask questions.

How the website is built

The portal is built on the Base44 platform and maintained by the website operator, who is responsible for its content and enquiry process. Base44 provides the website technology, not legal advice or representation. The portal is independent of the Legal Aid Agency and government bodies. The current signing pack is a practice copy, not an executed legal agreement; approved legal documents would need to be issued separately.
