12 years gone from the company, and they still have all his details...

what about the guy in the class action suite, 12 years left the company, but his personal data is still on file. under EU data protection legislation data can only be kept for as long as it is required. Why were they holding his personal information for so long? He should take them to the cleaners, he should have been purged from the systems years ago. How many of us could also be affected by companies that we used to work for? I know my old company never purged this from the HR systems either.
