One of our employees was involved in a car accident, which was totally unconnected to his employment. His insurance company has requested the usual information relating to loss of wages etc but has now asked for a copy of his entire personnel file to be supplied to them. The employee has signed that he is willing for this to be done.
The file will contain details of his appraisals, disciplinary records, bank details, copies of birth / marriage certificates etc. Much of this is obviously not relevant to the claim.
Do we have to comply with the request, as the information being requested is excessive for the purposes required and are there any Data Protection issues if we did indeed comply with the request?

I've just noticed that I said the request came from his insurance company. The demand has actually come from his solicitor who is pursuing his personal injury claim. Not sure if this alters things?
