Freedom of information law; Data protection law

An essential addition to the bookshelf of any practitioner who has to consider information rights, however often. The book is the best kind of practitioner text: practical and clear, but also scholarly, thoughtful and analytical. (Sarah Hannett KC, Judicial Review)

Retaining the position it has held since first publication, this is the 6th edition of the leading practitioner text on all aspects of information law. The latest edition includes a substantially enlarged set of chapters on appeals, enforcement, and remedies, as well as covering over 250 new judgments and decisions published since the last edition.

Information Rights has been cited by the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and the Tribunals, and is used by practitioners, judges and all those who practise in the field, including journalists. The new edition maintains its style of succinct statements of principle, supported by case law, legislative provisions, and statutory guidance.

The work is divided into 2 volumes. Volume 1 is a 1,500-page commentary, with a comprehensive coverage of the data protection regime, freedom of information and environmental information law, as well as other rights of access to official information such as local government legislation and the Public Records Act. There is detailed coverage of appeal and regulatory procedures. Volume 2 comprises extensive annotated statutory material, including the DPA 2018, the UK GDPR, FOIA, Tribunal rules and statutory guidance.

Reviews for Information Rights: A Practitioner's Guide to Data Protection, Freedom of Information and Other Information Rights

The book is well-structured and clearly signposted, which helps the reader locate specific details without becoming unwillingly submerged in the complexities of the field. It therefore works on two levels: as a thorough map of the information rights landscape in the UK ... and also a methodical introduction to many sometimes arcane areas. Because of this, it is both a useful volume for the specialist and also accessible to those not steeped in the topic. Written with evident relish for the subject, this is an admirably holistic treatment of the ever-expanding, complex but never more important field of information law and the accompanying rights. * Kate Brimsted, Law Society Gazette (Review of the 5th edition) * For law students, and information governance professionals alike, these beautiful weighty tomes are a must-have addition to their information rights library of seminal textbooks, but they also make a supremely useful practitioner's handbook. * Lynn Wyeth, Leicester City Council, Freedom of Information (Review of the 5th edition) * Information Rights shines a clear and authoritative light on the law's labyrinthine structure and unfamiliar concepts ... With its crisp statements of principle, supported by footnoted sources, the book makes light work of a heavy topic ... Philip Coppel and his team of contributors deserve both congratulations and gratitude. * Professor Sir Ross Cranston, London School of Economics, Butterworths Journal of International Banking and Financial Law (Review of the 5th edition) * Methodically laid out, easy to follow and contains ample references to the primary material where necessary ... Overall this book provides an engaging and comprehensive review of the various ways in which information rights arise and can be challenged. * Laurent Sykes KC, Gray's Inn Tax Chambers, British Tax Review (Review of the 5th edition) *
