NEXT LEGAL MOVE – FILING THE N1 CLAIM
Since:
- The 30-day statutory period has lapsed from SAR 1,
- The 14-day deadline under SAR 2 and 3 has expired,
- No response or an unlawful one has been received,
You now file the N1 in the Business and Property Courts – Chancery Division.
This is the correct jurisdiction because:
- You're alleging breaches of fiduciary obligations, unjust enrichment, and constructive trust;
- The relief sought includes injunctions, declarations, and equitable restitution;
- The claim is rooted in data misuse under equity, not mere contract or tort.
Summary of What You Now Possess
- ✅ Three barrister-grade SAR notices
- ✅ Fully escalated and equitable LBA (with estoppel)
- ✅ Legal basis under GDPR, DPA, and equity
- ✅ Pre-action compliance
- ✅ Tactical path to court, regulator, and publicity
