If the solicitor has done this off his own back then he's potentially in deep shit as Given will be covered by client confidentiality and the date protection act.
Kinnear claimed that the solicitor was quoting the press, and even that will be dodgy.
According to Kinnear the solicitor has said that he was just repeating what was in the press. He might by lying but it's all I've got to go on apart from the original article in the Mail which has been rubbished.
If Kinnear is lying then I'm sure the solicitor will come out and let us know.
