The appellant appealed her conviction under the 1998 Act. As a police support worker, she had used the Force’s computer to access information about former boyfriend. She replied that the access was simply for the purpose of ensuring the records were up to date.

Held: The appeal failed. The defendant had not shown that the verdicts were logically inconsistent.
