Article 18A Entry directionsF1

This rule applies to an appeal against a decision of, or notice issued by, the F2Information Commission.

The Tribunal may give a direction (“an entry direction”) requiring the occupier of any premises (“the occupier”), including a party, to permit entry to specified persons in order to allow such persons to—

In paragraph (2)—

• “relevant equipment” means equipment on the premises used or intended to be used in connection with the processing of personal data, or the storage, recording or deletion of other information; and

• “relevant materials” means any documents and other materials on the premises connected with the processing of personal data, or the storage, recording or deletion of other information.

A direction under paragraph (2) may not require a person to permit the inspection, examination or testing of any document or other materials which a person could not be compelled to produce in the trial of an action in a court of law in the part of the United Kingdom where the proceedings are due to be determined.

A direction under paragraph (2) must specify the date and time at which the entry is to take place.

The Tribunal must send a copy of the direction to the occupier so that it is received at least 7 days before the date specified for the entry.
