[20113] EWHC 2575 (Admin)
The High Court had to decide whether data contained in a statement given by a third party to an authority was personal data and a disclosure of that information to the applicant would therefore require third party's consent. The court held that the following criteria must be affirmed to determine data is personnel:
a) Data is being processed, recorded or forms part of an accessible record
b) Living individual can be identified from the data
c) Data relates to individual
- biographical information, identity and characteristics
- impact on individual's rights and interests
- individual identifiable and central theme
