Data Protection cases in the UK and Europe have developed the law in unexpected ways. David Bainbridge brings his classic text up to date with full reference to a huge range of materials. He 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.The text is full of checklists, flowcharts and other tools, rendering it invaluable to advisers and data users alike. An excellent for lawyers, company IT managers and those advising on data transfer issues inside the EU and between the EU and other nations.
