Data protection

ICO releases report on data protection concerns in genomics

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued a report spotlighting privacy risks arising from genomics. Rapid advances across healthcare, education, insurance and law enforcement are creating a range of security challenges: potential misuse or re-identification where genomic data is hard to anonymise; the prospect of systemic discrimination; limited transparency around data sharing; and the use of information beyond its initial purpose. The report also flags specific risks from families sharing genomic data, because material disclosed about one person may inadvertently expose another’s sensitive details. In response, the ICO is encouraging organisations in these sectors to collaborate through its Regulatory Sandbox and develop genomics innovations that meet privacy expectations.

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...
