Rezensionen / Stimmen
The sheer scale of the undertaking and level of detail is hugely impressive. This new edition is to be welcomed and will prove most useful for anyone dealing with the use of information in the public sector...It is the only work of which we are aware to contain such a marvellously detailed analysis of the diverse range of legislation on this subject, not only explained but also practically applied. * International Data Privacy Law * [The] leading book on the subject...The book is as comprehensive in its coverage of the UK's Freedom of Information Act and Environmental Information Regulations as its predecessors. * The Commonwealth Lawyer *
