A man who unlawfully obtained information relating to an individual’s bank account was fined £500 and ordered to pay £500 costs yesterday by Croydon Magistrates, after pleading guilty to a breach of the 1988 Data Protection Act.More here.
The case is related to and follows the successful prosecution of private detective David Sibley last month.
Sibley and David William Schumacker were prosecuted by the data protection watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), after obtaining information for a solicitor’s firm in respect of an insurance claim.
