Mr Durant thought the case was over when OUT-LAW spoke to him
last month. He expressed his disappointment at being unable to
continue due to the legal costs.
But it appears that the settlement agreement was never
finalised. Consequently, the House of Lords has agreed to hear Mr
Durant's petition for a further appeal on the morning of 29th
November 2005.
If the House of Lords permits the appeal, the meaning of
"personal data" will be up for review. If it refuses, the disputed
Court of Appeal decision on the definition will stand as the law of
the UK.
