Durant v FSA - New Guidance
|
In the recent case of Durant v Financial Services Authority the Court of Appeal considered four important issues of law concerning the right of access to personal data.
The Commissioner released an initial statement on 17th December 2003, followed by a case summary. The Commissioner has now released a more detailed commentary on the impact of the judgment on the interpretation of the Data Protection Act 1998 which focuses on what the Commissioner considers to be the two most important of the issues considered by the Court, namely:
1) What makes “data” “personal” within the meaning of “personal data”? and
2) What is meant by a “relevant filing system”?
This latest document is aimed in particular at specialist data protection officers and professional advisers.
