See section 61.
Also it would depends on what the breach is.
Any criminal offence would be yours.
If the offence were criminal what offence would your boss be guilty of at

Subject: DPO liability
A sobering question for Friday afternoon.
If as a DPO, my boss knowingly asks me to breach the DPA and I do so,
where do I stand legally having regard to the fact that I am something
of an 'expert' in the field, responsible for informing him of our legal
position?
