The requirements of the relevant legislation are set out together with examples, flow-charts, and diagrams to illustrate and clarify how to apply the law in practice.

This indispensable guide is a one-stop shop for all you need to know about information rights law, using relevant case studies to clarify and illuminate these tricky issues.

Contents include: • Data Protection Act 1998: definitions of personal data; scope of the Act; the principles; access to personal data and data sharing • Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004: scope of the Acts; applications of exemptions/exceptions; public interest tests, publication schemes; disclosure logs and records management • Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 • Human Rights Act 1998 • Reuse of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005 • other non-information rights-related legislation • interaction of legislation • requests for information.
