Alternative Dispute Resolution Services is a Newcastle-based legal firm which is offering a £5.99 pack to help pursue a claim against the government for breach of the Data Protection Act. They claim that 14,000 people have registered with them so far.
The pack is available at:

Don't get too excited: the estimated payout is likely to be between £50-£300, which is way below any losses that may be suffered if the data is in the wrong hands. The interesting question though is whether or not the government actually breached the DPA.
