Cornerstone on Information Law is a one-volume practical guide focused on data protection law, freedom of information and the environmental information regulations. Covering the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, the title is up to date with adaptations to UK data protection law in the event of Brexit; while also explaining the law before Brexit, or if it does not occur.
It is an essential reference work for Data Protection Officers/FOI Information Officers and busy in-house lawyers in local authorities and the public sector generally; and, those in large and small businesses with data protection responsibilities. It covers the essential areas for practitioners in this fast-changing framework.
The guide has been organised for easy navigation and browsing, with many real world examples and worked scenarios. It aims to form a bridge between the introductory and the detailed levels, avoiding an overly-detailed legal approach, while equipping readers with the knowledge they need to deal with both specific problems and day-to-day issues.
Key topics covered include:
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Data Protection Act 2018 (including exemptions from the GDPR)
A summary of the regime for law enforcement data processing
UK changes to data protection law in the event of Brexit
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Environmental Information Regulations 2004

Info autore
Damien Welfare is a retired barrister, formerly at Cornerstone Barristers. In his practice, he specialised in Information Law, covering advice and representation on complex matters of Data Protection, Freedom of Information (‘FOI’) and the Environmental Information Regulations (‘EIR’). He continues to provide well-received training seminars in these fields.
Damien came to the Bar in 2001, following a career in local government, and became involved in Information Law from the inception of the FOI and EIR regimes in 2005. The book ‘Cornerstone on Information Law’ and the many examples within it, are informed by his experience as a trainer, where he emphasises a practical approach, his former practice as a lawyer, and from having worked in the public sector. The book also reflects his particular interests in the EIR, which he considers have been over-shadowed by the FOI regime, despite the former’s breadth of application; and in the interpretation of the revised GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as the UK regime for data protection following Brexit.

Testo aggiuntivo
Although there have been commentaries on the subject over the years, comprehensive practical guides covering all aspects of this branch of the law have been scarce on the ground. This book fills the gap admirably...This is a book which no one who has serious responsibilities for information handling can afford to ignore.
