Overview

Data protection is an increasingly important area of business law, perhaps more so as a result of the Data Protection Act 1998. This work gives practical guidance to the Act. Coverage includes the difficult transitional arrangements between the 1984 Act and the new law, and highlighted sections showing the main changes between the two. The text of the Act and Directive are included. The text also includes new issues practitioners have to consider, including: sensitive data controls

overseas transfers

the new individual rights

the "fair obtaining" rules

and application to manual files.
