The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has published updated FAQs on information rights following the end of the Brexit implementation/transition period. See: LNB News 08/01/2021 20.
The ICO has secured the sentencing of a motor insurance employee to eight months’ imprisonment (suspended for two years). RAC employee Kim Doyle transferred personal data to an accident claims management firm without authorisation. Doyle pleaded guilty to conspiracy to secure unauthorised access to computer data and to selling unlawfully obtained personal data pursuant to section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. This was the ICO’s second prosecution under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. See: LNB News 11/01/2021 6.

Philippe Lamberts MEP and Sven Giegold MEP outline how ‘the rules in the draft agreement on money laundering and terrorist financing repeat and freeze some of the major shortcomings of the EU’s current anti-money laundering rules’, recognising that current EU AML rules are ‘inadequate’. In the letter, Lamberts and Giegold detail how the missing ‘regulatory alignment’ is ‘deeply concerning’, with apprehensions that the omission may well influence investment decisions. They concede that, despite the limited benefits for the UK in the TCA, there is nothing in the draft agreement stopping the UK from becoming a ‘Singapore on Thames’ in terms of taxation and AML policies.
