POPLA decision on withheld data

Hi all,

A contact was sent a Notice to Keeper detailing an allowed driver not purchasing a ticket for the 30 minute stay within a hospital car park. The driver ,as distinct from Keeper, was a NHS Clinician.

The keeper requested a copy of the windscreen ticket as part of a SAR, but Euro Car Parks won't provide the information saying that they had "fulfilled their obligations under the GDPR/DPA Act". So in my eyes a false omission as they have no legal basis to restrict. I'm sure that wind screen tickets contain personal data and can of course be used to provide further personal information from the DVLA registered keeper data base .

The contact has now reached the POPLA stage of appeal and I was wondering if ECP not  complying with the GDPR/DPA 2018 act would be a plus point in the POPLA appeal?

It would be great to have some opinions on this.

Thank you,

SII

    No. POPLA don't consider that law but phrase it another way:

    The appellant can certainly require a copy of the purported windscreen PCN saying they believe the operator failed to comply with Schedule 4 POFA, and if it's not produced in the POPLA evidence pack then they can state that POFA para 8 was not met.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Thank you @Coupon-mad. Something tells me that they'll produce it for POPLA  even though they stated they had submitted all they had on the data subject for this case. Like a rabbit out of a hat.

    Any way SAR has just breached so off to the ICO with it!
