If an FSA regulated firm breaches DPA regs then I very much doubt the ICO will ever get involved

 

Why would they waste their limited resources and fine them a maximum of £500K when the FSA can hit them with a bigger stick?

Interestingly it was the FSA that fined them – presumably under FSA regs?

 

Could a similar fine have been issued by the ICO under DPA?
