As Government is telling us to share information and don't get me wrong, it will be very helpful to do so but let them change the legislation and then there would be no risk of Councils being sued.. -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Phil Bradshaw Sent: 02 July 2007 16:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: FW: CT Data for Non-Criminal Purposes We all risk being sued every time we make a DPA decision as nothing is fixed. As for the ICO I can but quote them direct "We will not use our enforcement powers unless there is evidence of genuine unfairness or unwarranted detriment being caused to individuals." In the context of Jackie's enquiry about a Standards Board investigation, this hardly seems likely. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm Any queries about sending or receiving messages please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] Full help Desk - please email [log in to unmask] describing your needs To receive these emails in HTML format send the command: SET data-protection HTML to [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This email was received from the INTERNET and scanned by the Government Secure Intranet Anti-Virus service supplied by Cable&Wireless in partnership with MessageLabs.
