Following Durant, yes. The comment was made in the recent case by the judge,
perhaps in spite of rulings in Douglas, etc., that "the purpose of section 7
of the Act is to enable an individual to check whether a data controller's
processing of his personal data unlawfully infringes his privacy" therefore a
presumed lawful right to privacy. Or is that too much like the common sense we
are supposed to be using?
