Jockey Club v Carphone Warehouse Ltd

Facts

In the course of investigation into suspected corrupt betting activity the Jockey Club sought disclosure of mobile phone data held by the Carphone Warehouse. The information in relation to mobile phone data and a specific individual was believed to be of relevance to that investigation. The Carphone Warehouse, having obligations under the Data Protection Act, could not freely provide the information which was required by the Jockey Club for the purpose of its investigation. Accordingly, an application to the High Court was necessary.
