Interesting article at :
http://www.vnunet.com/news/1156820
about the EC's involvement in the Durant issue and it's implications etc.
Nothing new there I suppose fro readers here although I did find the
following extract rather amusing :
.......George Gardiner of law firm Gardiner & Co supported the court's
decision. "There has been a huge increase in vexatious data subject requests
as a prelude to litigation, but now these individuals have to look elsewhere
for their disputes," he said.
Somewhat bizarre then that most of the "vexatious" SAR's I receive are from
law firms and solicitors (on behalf of their clients) or from individuals
who have been advised by law firms and solicitors to obtain information as a
platform for litigation !!!! - I hasten to add however that of course not
all law firms and solicitors carry on as described..........
Friday looming.......
