Data Protection Act 1998: Legal Guidance
The Data Protection Act 1998 (the “Act”), together with a number of Statutory Instruments (a list of which appears in the annex to this publication) came into force on 1 March 2000, repealing the Data Protection Act 1984. This document provides comprehensive legal advice on the legislation.>
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “FoIA”) received Royal Assent on 30 November 2000. Some of its provisions came into force on or after 30 January 2001, including the change of name of my Office. As at the date of publication of this guidance the substantive provisions of the FoIA have not been implemented. Indeed the Government has yet to make an announcement on the phasing of implementation, which must be effected in full by 30 November 2005. When fully in force, the FoIA will amend the Act in certain respects. This publication reflects only those amendments already in force.
