Cases

Chief Constable of Humberside v Information Commissioner & Another

Facts

The Appellants, five Chief Constables all of whom were data controllers within the meaning of the DPA, appealed against the findings of the Information Tribunal and Information Commissioner that the minor convictions of five individuals should be deleted from the PNC. In one of the five cases, the case of S, S had been assured that her relevant conviction, an official reprimand, would be removed from her record in accordance with a “weeding policy” then in force. This policy was subsequently changed and the police view became that no convictions should be deleted except in exceptional circumstances.
