Hi Dave!
Good question! I'd wondered about his myself and came to the conclusion
that there wasn't a DP issue at all because the Hamilton's by seeking to
engage the press themselves had moved the whole thing into the public
domain.
Probably not for the scope of this forum but I had wondered about them
starting an action for defamation.
regards,
Kevin Broadfoot.

Subject: DPA and Hamiliton Allegations
What is the lists view of the media allegations regards the Hamiltons in
respect of application of the DPA?
Does the DPA give them any recourse to compensation, Section
13(2)referencing the special purposes appears to indicate possibility. As
data would be 'sensitive' (alledged offence) does Section 32(2)a exempt the
media from processing and fairness conditions as elements of principle 1. I
assume the processing would be argued as due to 'Public interest' of the
story re the profile of individuals.
Be interested in analysis of the Acts application by others on list. Ive
seen no mention of DPA yet regards this story.
