If personal data which has been collected in breach of the DPA 1998 formed
evidence of some sort in legal proceedings the individual/organisation were
a party to, and that data were pertinent to those proceedings, would the
organisation then need to destroy it immediately, rather than letting the
courts determine its validity in any particular case in question?
It sounds more like these issues can be very circumstantial and, as is often
the case, lacking of a standard generic response applicable in all
circumstances and so requiring consideration from many perspectives.
(Including that of the legal system actually promoting people to illegally
collect personal data.)
