Insight: UK Employment Law Round-up – June 2016

In this issue we look into the implications of misusing data in the employment context. In particular, we utline recent ICO prosecutions of employees for unlawfully obtaining data. We also look at a decision involving interim relief and an order for the deletion of data.
