Liquidator not “data controller” of its records

In re Southern Pacific Personal Loans Ltd Oakley Smith and another v Information Commissioner ChD TLR 10 October

The commencement of a liquidation and the appointment of a liquidator did not render the liquidator, in place of or in addition to the company, a data controller in respect of data processed by the company. When exercising any rights in respect of the data, the liquidator was acting as an agent of the company.
