A way through the maze of information legislation
Tracey Caldwell gets her bearings from an invaluable guide to data laws
' book review
The number of information rules and regulations is rising all the time. Understanding the legal ramifications of holding and processing data A- data protection, freedom of information, financial compliance and even environmental regulations A- is now central to the role of the information professional.
Information Rights in Practice aims to be a non-legal professional's guide to the regulations in the public and private sectors, and sets out to be a one-stop reference shop on information rights.
Author Alan Stead starts by pointing out that information legislation has been described by the appeal court as one of the most complex areas of UK law. He sets out on his task of demystifying that legislation with an enthusiasm that carries the reader with him.
