Ms Claire McCann (instructed by Bindmans LLP) for the Claimant Mr Charles Bourne QC and Ms Heather Emmerson (instructed by the Treasury Solicitor) for the Defendant Ms Caoilfhionn Gallagher (instructed by Sarah Lowe) for the Intervener Hearing dates: 20-21 May 2014 ____________________
(1) The interference with the Claimant's private life from the application of the GRC Noting Policy and the Retention Policy presently meets the test of necessity.
(2) Although these policies have a proper legal foundation, they lack clarity and precision, and are not readily accessible.
(3) The policies will need to be kept under review, since their primary justification will reduce over time, although they would still provide some protection against fraudulent claims.
(4) Just as the justification for maintaining the policies will reduce, so the argument that the costs of making the changes are too high will carry less weight.
