Jonathan,
Thanks for sending that through. What would help is if the ICO were to put metatags on these answers so that professionals could go straight to the relevant legislation.
As all of the advice is based on the DPA and associated SI, it would be a good idea as it would avoid scenarios such as the following "Yeah, well that is what the ICO, but is that really the law or just good practice?" "Sure, but show me where it is in the DPA and then I will do it."
I appreciate that the ICO needs to have readability and coherence within the texts that the public usually access. Yet, it would also help to have a link to the relevant legislation underpinning those points.
For example, all DPA professionals will know that failure to notify is an offence under the Act, but not everyone knows the exact location within the DPA that makes that the case.
Thanks again for tracking this down.
Best,
Lawrence

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Are judicial functions registered as data controllers? No.
Thanks Lawrence - I think I've just arrived at the same thing via another route. The The Data Protection (Notification and Notification Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 amend the 2000 notification regs to mean that judiciary are exempt from notification http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/1677/pdfs/uksi_20091677_en.pdf
Of course this suggest judiciary are data controllers, albeit exempt from notification.
Apologies if the formatting is awry in this message. Am on a mobile device.
