We cannot investigate this complaint that the Council wrongly used Mrs X’s personal data in court proceedings as this is not a matter within our remit. The Information Commissioner’s Office is best placed to assess the Council’s actions in respect of data protection law. Mrs X can take court action for the compensation she seeks.
