Some of you might have seen an article in "Bio-Science Law Review"
authored by Dr Kathleen Liddell of Cambridge University's Faculty of
Law, who argues that most privacy practitioners, including the
Information Commissioner, have misinterpreted the requirement in the
Data Protection Act (DPA) which obliges personal data to be processed
"lawfully". The small change in interpretation which the author
proposes, if it were to be sustained by a court, would be hugely
significant for medical research.
I have also added to the legal analysis agenda, a discussion on Smith v
Lloyds TSB: Case re Relevant Filing System
Just to say, I have added this article to our UPDATE session day agenda
(London - Monday April 11, Manchester April 18 and Glasgow April 25).
Details from me, and I will send you a word document.
Revised agenda:
AGENDA
1. Data Protection Review: ID Cards, Children's Act, Police Code of
Practice on Information Sharing (following Bichard); Parliamentary
update
2. Law Session (Durant update; MDU v Johnson, and others)
3. FOI and the private sector - threat or opportunity ?
4. FOI and release of personal data - what are the pitfalls ?
5. Part IV Employment Code

public/private sector ?
7. Recent cases from the ASA (Marketing) involving privacy concerns

Note: Pinsent Masons may change the agenda to include any important and
