That's a summary only offence, which, unless the Act states otherwise, means a summons need to be laid with the magistrates' court within six months of the date of the alleged offence (which was six years ago).I accept I may have worded my original post poorly but there is no arguing with the fact that by accepting this payment and not reporting the crime (Section 55 DP act 1998) unlawfully obtaining of personal data City have broken the law http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1967/58/section/5 for this the representatives could be open to a fine or imprisonment my last post on the matter feel free to carry on without me.
Plus, you need to ok of the DPP to prosecute under that section in any event.
