Synopsis
Published in 2000 by CLT Publishing, this 484 page paperback book by David Bainbridge looks at 'Data Protection Law' and includes the act and all SI's in one. It is invaluable to advisers, data controllers and data subjects alike providing incisive commentary on all the essential materials. Whether implementing the new régime, seeking to challenge it or advising those who are doing one of these, this book makes for essential reading, particularly given that the importance of information processing is ever-growing in what has become an information-rich society. As the old adage goes, 'Knowledge is Power' and knowledge is, to a great extent, dependent upon access to information. That being so, and coupled with the increasing sophistication and speed of information processing, the risks posed to individuals' rights of privacy are greater than at any time previously. These risks centre on the automatic processing of personal data, which by the Data Protection Directive have been extended to certain types of manual files. The Data Protection Act 1998 puts the UK in line with the Directive and it is vital that all data controllers fully understand the implications for their organisation. The new law is also very important for data subjects who have more rights than was previously the case and their pre-existing rights have been significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the position of individuals with respect to privacy is bolstered by the Human Rights Act 1998. Contents include: Data protection: the approach of the 1984 Act and the Directive and its approach; Outline of the Data Protection Act; Definitions and Principles; Notification Requirements; Constraints on processing; Data subjects' rights; Enforcement and offences; Exemptions and transitional provisions; Privacy in telecommunications; The commissioner and the tribunal; The full text of the Act and the 1999-2000 Statutory Instruments covering the Act and privacy in telecommunications

Synopsis
The Data Protection Act was largely implemented in 2000. This book compiles the Act, relevant statutory instruments and commentary into one handy volume. The Act's effects on the registration, procedures and policing of data protection will be felt by the majority of businesses and professions in the UK. In this book David Bainbridge brings his considerable experience as a writer and practitioner lecturer on these matters to produce a work that explains the context and implications of these important changes, whilst at the same time offering the substantive materials for further reference. Far more than just annotated legislation, the text is full of checklists, flowcharts and other tools, rendering it invaluable to advisers and data users alike.
