Hi has anyone had any dealings with the CCRC. I have recieved a letter from the CCRC asking for the disclosure of personal\sensitive information about someone and their family where this person was the victim of a serious crime. The perpetrator of the crime has applied to have their case reviewed and the CCRC have requested this information as part of this review. They have quoted their powers under section 17 of the Criminal Appeals Act which seems to over-ride the DPA and make way for a complete disclosure. As with any disclosure of third party data I am a little concerned about it Regards Lynn Whitehouse - (Data Protection Officer) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
