ABSTRACT

This article addresses the application of the journalism exception in UK data protection law. A number of uncertainties arise out of the case law of the CJEU and UK courts, as well as from the changes made to the journalism exception in the new data protection regime under the GDPR and DPA 2018. Three areas within the journalism exception will be discussed: the meaning of ‘journalistic purposes’, the substantive exemption from liability, and the procedural power to obtain a stay of proceedings. This article will identify the uncertainties affecting each of these three areas, and proposes possible ways by which these uncertainties may be resolved.

英国数据保护法中的新闻例外

摘要

本文介绍了新闻例外在英国数据保护法中的应用。欧盟法院和英国法院的判例法以及在GDPR和DPA 2018下新的数据保护制度中对新闻例外的变更产生了许多不确定性。将讨论新闻例外中的三个领域：“新闻目的”的含义，免除责任的实质性权利以及中止诉讼的程序权力。本文将确定影响这三个领域的不确定性，并提出解决这些不确定性的可能方法。
