The information services company, which operates its UK business from the Sir John Peace Building in Nottingham, has emerged victorious in its long running battle
Accusations that Nottingham firm Experian unlawfully used the personal data of almost every adult in the UK have been rejected in a new court ruling. The information services giant, which operates its UK business from the Sir John Peace building in Nottingham's NG2 Business Park, has emerged victorious in its long-running battle with the Information Commissioner.
However, the ICO's appeal was dismissed by the senior tribunal on Tuesday, April 23, meaning Experian will be able to continue its existing business practices. It rejected the body's argument that legal errors had been made by the initial ruling, but acknowledged it had been "neither well-structured nor particularly well-reasoned".
The ICO added it would "take stock" of the judgment before deciding its next steps, which could include appealing the decision again. It had originally issued an enforcement notice to Experian in October 2020 following a two-year investigation into how the company and two other major credit reference agencies were using the personal information for direct marketing purposes.
