Hi all,
Does anybody know that if a next of kin wants to access personal data of
their deceased relative (son want access to data on deceased father)....then
what is the position in law?
Someone has mentioned that the deceased data subject's rights pass onto the
next of kin - but I cannot find anything to this effect. Doesn't seem
likely to me.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Sukhvinder

Subject: [data-protection] Land Registration Act 2002
Sorry if this has been covered before, but has anyone got any views on the
new Land Registration Act 2002. Part of the new regulations under this Act
will mean that the amount someone has borrowed on a mortgage, plus the
interest rate, will become publicly available. Also details of leases and
rents will become public.
It seems that Exempt Information documents can be applied, which will
effectively blank out this information in response to an individual request,
provided it can be proved to be "prejudicial" - in other words it will only
likely be the rich and famous that will be afforded privacy in this regard.
Who on earth decided that it was in the public interest to allow other
people to find out about other people's borrowing or rent payments? Surely
this is in conflict with the spirit of the Data Protection Act?
