Review(s) from previous edition
"Peter Carey is not afraid to deal with the complexity of real life scenarios...Another excellent section is that on employment-related data...Marketing is also dealt with in a very useful manner...His section on privacy and websites is also extremely useful...Carey makes his book easy to understand without requiring his non-EU based readers to do any additional research...Carey also has a gift for knowing what information is required at what time...this book was a rare academic pleasure to read. - CTLR
"The book is a useful handbook of UK data protection law, and would be of particular use to those with no or little experience of this aspect of law. It clearly sets out all the relevant law, and discusses the statutory provisions. It is concisely and practically written and includes useful examples of situations which arise in practice. ... ideal for many of the businesses who need to come to grips with data protection law as a matter of compliance. It is written in an easy to follow manner with sufficient cross-referencing and details of sources of further information for the intelligent non-lawyer to obtain a basic understanding of data protection law" - CTLR Vol. 7, Issue 7, Oct. 2001
"a very useful work for those involved in data protection and could be read by both lawyers and non-lawyers alike with ease. " - Privacy Laws & Business UK Newsletter
"...the new edition is a useful updating of the law and a work that both lawyers and a more general business readership will find a very useful addition to their shelves" - Howard Johnson, Bangor Law School, Communications Law 14.4
