Providing information to a previous company

[ATFC]

Hi All,

A director of a company that I used to contract for has landed herself in a bit of legal trouble for something she was involved with whilst I was contacting there (not of my doing I hasten to add!)
They have hired a legal firm to make a representation on the director's behalf who have contacted me requesting information
This placement ended over a year ago.
Am I obligated to give any information?

Any advice much appreciated

It depends on what information. Can you be any more specific?

You need to speak to a solicitor for this not a bunch of contractors. Naff all to do with contracting this really. Most give you a free half hour consultation don't they? Should be long enough to get your answer..

Or you could try citizens advice.

Depends on the information.

If it's over a regulated issue and you work in a regulated industry - Yes.

If it is over a regulated issue like health and safety, or involves a member of the public - Yes

If it's over stuff like sexual harassment, racial abuse or something similar to another worker or employee - No
