First, Mr de Waal reminded me that in the Dawson-Damer v Taylor Wessing [2017] 1 WLR 3255, the Court of Appeal, in reversing the judge below, held, as summarised in the third paragraph of the headnote, that there was no rule to the effect that no order should be made under section 7(9) of the 1998 Act if the data subject proposed to use the information obtained for some purpose other than verifying or correcting data held about him. Of course I accept that. However, the fact that there is no rule to the effect that no order should be made if the data subject has some other use in mind does not mean that an order should be made if he has another use in mind. Whether or not an order should be made in any given case all depends upon the facts of that case.
