Anyone got any thoughts about an organisation's position regarding
information which was received by it where the person passing the
information on was themselves in breach of the Act in doing so ? The
information received was neither life-critical nor related to prevention
/ detection of a crime.
The information received was (and continues to be) useful to us, but we
have now (some time after the event) been informed that the Act was
breached in passing the information to us. How do we stand in relation
to the information ? I'm struggling to see if S55(2) will apply in this
instance.....
Thanks
