Paragraph 8 Further provision as to disclosure
Nothing in article 18 or this Schedule requires or permits the making of a disclosure which contravenes the data protection legislation.
Paragraph 7(4) does not apply in respect of the supply of information or the production of a document which a person could not be compelled to supply or produce in court.
Where, for the purposes of paragraph 7(4), information is held in a form which is not disclosable by reason of the data protection legislation because the information is capable of identifying an individual, the Regulator may require that information be put into a form which is not capable of identifying that individual.
In this paragraph, “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018f1 (see section 3(9) of that Act (Terms relating to the processing of personal data)).
