Section 55 custodial offence left waiting for Leveson and party politics Just published on Hawktalk: <http://amberhawk.typepad.com/amberhawk/> http://amberhawk.typepad.com/amberhawk/ The Government has decided not to commence the custodial element of the Section 55 offence of the Data Protection Act until the Leveson's recommendations in relation to the press regulation are done and dusted. Indeed, I now suspect that the Government does not want to commence a custodial S.55 offence at all. If interested, follow the link..
