Shepherd v The Information Commissioner [2019] EWCA Crim 2 - a podcast by Marcus Cleaver

The Data Protection Act 2018 brought data protection law into the 21st Century and helped to provide a stronger legal framework for securing personal information. A side effect of this however is that it has made it much easier to convict people of relevant offences and that poses a threat to some of the foundational principles of criminal law. In this episode we consider a case decided under the old Act and then consider how the law has changed and what issues the new legislation brings up.
