Description
"The second edition of this respected title explains and makes coherent the law relating to information held by central government, its agencies and local government. Addressing the multiplicity of procedures, as well as substantive provisions, this book tackles the position and responsibilities of lawyers and officials operating in this area. The Act covers virtually all pubic authorities including privatised utilities and those under contract with public authorities to provide public service. Also incorporated are the effects of the recent Regulation of Investigatory Power Act 2000, the Local Government Act 2000 as well as the impact of Articles 8 and 10 ECHR and the Human Rights Act 1998. There are also a host of other statutory reforms within the book including the 1998 Data Protection Act"
