Data Protection

Expansive Data (Use and Access) Bill introduced to Parliament

The Data (Use and Access) Bill was formally introduced in Parliament, in the House of Lords, on 23 October 2024. Sponsored by the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, it seeks to stimulate economic growth and to enhance the delivery of public services, with the expectation of delivering an estimated £10bn boost to the UK economy over ten years. Victoria Hordern, a partner at Taylor Wessing LLP, comments that the Government has emphasised its ambition that the new law will improve public services and bolster the UK economy, including an intention to improve the sharing of patients’ data within the NHS. However, as the Bill amends the existing UK data protection legal framework, the intricacy of its drafting does not immediately indicate how straightforwardly those political objectives will be realised as a consequence of this Bill.

It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
