Art. 2024
“Please find enclosed copies of the information requested… The Council made a press release… We have attached the press release… We have attached a copy of the prosecution summary of facts.”
“We are not able to comply with your request for erasure… the Council is required to retain the information… the press release cannot currently be deleted.”
- In the first document, ESCC releases the material (press release + prosecution summary).
- In the second, ESCC justifies the need to retain it and refuses deletion.
- Press release
- Prosecution summary
- No other material (“The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”)
- investigative powers
- prosecutorial powers
- retention obligations
- obligations to the CCRC
- six‑year archiving
- the need to defend legal claims
👉 “We only have two files, here they are.”
👉 “We have an entire archive we cannot touch.”
“The documents in respect of the case are public records and is available in the court.”
“The right to erasure does not apply… information is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.”
- If they are public records, their retention does not depend on ESCC.
- If they are needed for legal claims, they are not mere public records.
“The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
“The Council was issued with a Notice… to produce to the CCRC all documents… awaiting the outcome.”
- If no exculpatory evidence exists, why is the case before the CCRC?
- The CCRC does not open a review without grounds.
- “there is nothing”
- “the case is under extraordinary review”
“We have attached a copy of the prosecution summary of facts.”
“The Council is required to retain the information… to establish and defend the ongoing case before the CCRC.”
why is it being released in full via email?
“The Council made a press release… attached.”
“The press release cannot currently be deleted… the suspended sentence ends in December 2024.”
- In the first document, the press release is just an attachment.
- In the second, it suddenly becomes a document protected by retention schedules, legal claims, prosecutorial powers, etc.
“Please find enclosed copies of the information requested.”
“Information related to prosecution of offences be kept for a period of 6yrs…”
Where is the rest of the material required by their own retention schedule?
“The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
“Required… for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.”
- If there is nothing to defend, why invoke the need to defend legal claims?
- If there is no exculpatory material, why is the case before the CCRC?
“The documents… are public records.”
“We are required to retain the information… cannot comply with your request for erasure.”
- A public record is not subject to an internal retention schedule.
- A document subject to a retention schedule is not a public record.
Same day.
Two responses that:
- contradict each other
- cancel each other out
- exclude each other
- cannot coexist in any coherent system
- Nel documento SAR ref. 19157665, ESCC afferma di detenere esclusivamente:
- il press release istituzionale
- il prosecution summary of facts
- e dichiara: “The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
- Nel documento Erasure ref. 19155565, ESCC sostiene invece di detenere un corpus documentale più ampio, soggetto a:
- poteri investigativi,
- poteri di prosecuzione,
- obblighi di conservazione per 6 anni,
- obblighi verso la CCRC,
- necessità di difendere legal claims.
- Nel SAR: “The documents… are public records and available in the court.”
- Nell’erasure: i medesimi documenti vengono qualificati come soggetti a retention, non cancellabili, necessari per la difesa.
- Nel SAR viene rilasciato integralmente via email.
- Nell’erasure viene definito indispensabile per la difesa davanti alla CCRC.
- Nel SAR: “The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
- Nell’erasure: ESCC conferma che il caso è attualmente davanti alla CCRC.
Le due affermazioni risultano difficilmente conciliabili.
- Nel SAR: “Please find enclosed copies of the information requested.”
- Nell’erasure: ESCC afferma di dover conservare documentazione per 6 anni.
- coerenza della ricostruzione amministrativa,
- completezza del materiale fornito,
- qualificazione giuridica dei documenti,
- attendibilità delle dichiarazioni rese dall’ente.
- Nel SAR ref. 19157665, ESCC dichiara di detenere esclusivamente:
- press release
- prosecution summary
- nessun altro dato rilevante
- “The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
- Nel Erasure ref. 19155565, ESCC sostiene invece di detenere:
- un archivio esteso,
- soggetto a retention di 6 anni,
- necessario per difendere legal claims,
- vincolato da obblighi verso la CCRC.
- Nel SAR: “The documents… are public records.”
- Nell’erasure: gli stessi documenti diventano “non cancellabili” per esigenze difensive.
- Nel SAR viene trasmesso integralmente.
- Nell’erasure viene qualificato come documento indispensabile per la difesa.
- Nel SAR: “The Council does not have any exculpatory evidence.”
- Nell’erasure: ESCC conferma che il caso è davanti alla CCRC.
La contraddizione incide sulla completezza e correttezza dei dati trattati (Art. 5(1)(d)).
- Nel SAR: “Please find enclosed copies of the information requested.”
- Nell’erasure: ESCC afferma di detenere documenti soggetti a retention.
- trasparenza del trattamento,
- minimizzazione dei dati,
- correttezza e coerenza delle informazioni fornite,
- gestione dei diritti dell’interessato,
- qualificazione della base giuridica,
- rispetto degli obblighi di risposta ai sensi degli Art. 12–15 GDPR.
