Regina v Rooney: CA 12 Jul 2006

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. She now said that to say to her sister that the data subjects ‘lived in Tunstall’ was not personal data since it did not suffciently identify the subjects and that her acquittals on some charges amounted to inconsistent verdicts.
Held: The appeal failed. The defendant had not shown that the verdicts were logically inconsistent.
