Section 194

When carrying out processing of personal data which is the subject of a document issued under section 192(3) which is for the time being in force, a person must have regard to the document. A failure to act in accordance with a provision of such a document does not of itself make a person liable to legal proceedings in a court or tribunal. A document issued under section 192(3), including an amendment or replacement document, is admissible in evidence in legal proceedings. In any legal proceedings before a court or tribunal, the court or tribunal must take into account a provision of any document issued under section 192(3) in determining a question arising in the proceedings if— the question relates to a time when the provision was in force, and the provision appears to the court or tribunal to be relevant to the question. In determining a question arising in connection with the carrying out of any of the Commissioner's functions, the Commissioner must take into account a provision of a document issued under section 192(3) if— the question relates to a time when the provision was in force, and the provision appears to the Commissioner to be relevant to the question.
