Common Services Agency v Scottish Information Commissioner [2008] UKHL 47; [2008] WLR (D) 231
“Information which in its basic form would constitute ‘personal data’ for the purposes of s 1(1) of the Data Protection Act 1998 could be released under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 provided it had been modified in such a way that it was rendered anonymous, so that no individual from whom it was derived was identifiable, as it would then no longer be ‘personal data’ within the meaning of s 1(1).”
