United Kingdom

contravenes the data protection legislation, or

(b)

is prohibited by any of Parts 1 to 7 or Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 M1.

(3)

Nothing in this Part is to be read as requiring a person who has acted or is acting as counsel or solicitor for any person to disclose any privileged information in their possession in that capacity.

F3Regulations 108 and 108A do not limit the circumstances in which information may be disclosed apart from F4those regulations.
