I have a legal right to these document http://ico.org.uk/for_the_public/personal_information
Further, they must be provided within 40 days, or an explanation at to why they cannot be provided must be produced. I have now for many months (see below *to add) been requesting copies of my file from Philip Irvinson. However, he continued to break the law in not providing either the documents or any reason for the not providing the documents.
Further Chiltern Solicitor were not registered as a Data Controller until the 17th Oct 2014. This leaves at least 3 years in which they failed to register and the entire period in which I had dealings with them. This is a very serious offence! And I'd guess that the only reason that have now registered is that they knew I was researching their conduct.

I'm shocked that a Solicitor can show such a disregard for the law, especially laws that are designed to protect their clients. Again, I would also speculate that this criminal offence would invalidate their insurance.
Is it sensible to employ someone to get your legal affair into order, when they don't have their's in order? I know for my it's been a huge mistake!

Details of communications in relation to document requested:
Email to Philip Ivinson 29/08/14:
"I have made many requests for copies of document from both yourself and Peter Ward and we still have made no progress at all in getting them to me."
Email to Philip Ivinson 31/10/14:
"Also, you have not even sent me a copy of the requested documents. This is highly unprofessional, if not illegal and is not in keeping with someone claiming they are keen to resolve matters. "
