Lloyds TSB are being challenged in the courts by the unions for data exports
to India.
On the face of it this is a DPA challenge, but is it really? Surely it's
about jobs?
No UKIC comment in the FT article, but I suppose that's understandable in
case it gets to court.
I think the question is: "If a data processor is under a binding contract to
the data controller to comply with UK DPA (or more stringent laws) despite
their locality, is the export of data, even sensitive data, against the
letter and spirit of the relevant laws?". I present this uncommented upon
for discussion here
