### Selected Most Harmed Potential Victims: Gateshead Flyover Demolition
From the prior list, I selected these five based on documented severe economic harms (e.g., investment losses, halved footfall, existential threats to viability per FOI-linked reports and media). Prioritization: direct quantifiable damages (£150k+ losses, 50%+ trade drops) enabling strongest tort claims (negligence in unconsulted demolition under EIR Reg 12(4)(a), public nuisance from traffic rerouting). These position well for group liability against Gateshead Council for foreseeable harms without mitigation.

For tort establishment: Email these with FOI evidence (CC66521, £2.3M monthly losses per Cabinet mins) to quantify claims. Suggest they log damages (sales data) for Limitation Act 1980 (6-year window from harm, starting Dec 2024 closure). If no response in 14 days, escalate via your ICO appeal for unredacted impacts.

Specific Contacts for Potential Victims: Gateshead Flyover Demolition Impacts
Based on the chat history (FOI disclosures on £2.3M monthly economic losses to local businesses) and the webpage (which links back to the FOI case without new victim details), I’ve identified affected parties from verified sources. Focus is on high street/retail businesses reporting trade drops, footfall loss, and morale damage due to closure/demolition disruptions since December 2024. These qualify as potential tort claimants (e.g., negligence in consultation/impact mitigation under UK law, seeking compensation for economic harm).
Prioritize associations/orgs for broad outreach—they represent multiple victims and can facilitate group claims. Then, individual businesses with owner details for direct contact. All are in/near Gateshead town centre (High Street/Jackson Street areas, NE8 postcode). Reach via email/phone for initial liability discussions; reference FOI Ref CC66521 for credibility.

EUDAMED (European Database on Medical Devices) consists of six modules covering aspects like actor registration, UDI/devices, notified bodies/certificates, clinical investigations, vigilance/post-market surveillance, and market surveillance. Public access is available for certain modules (e.g., devices, certificates), allowing searches by fields like manufacturer, model, risk class, UDI-DI, or EMDN codes via the official portal at

However, the vigilance module (for safety alerts and incidents) is not fully public and restricted to authorities, with alerts typically disseminated through national agencies rather than a centralized public search. The EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) system at
