A London barrister has been prosecuted by the ICO for failing to notify under section 17 of the Data Protection Act. Jeanette Hayne pleaded guilty at the hearing on 28 November 2012 but Westminster Magistrates decided to dispose of the case by way of an absolute discharge owing to particular mitigating circumstances. Concluding the hearing, the magistrate warned that those whose profession is to prosecute people for failing to comply with the law must meet their legal obligations.
