ALRC Proposes Unified Privacy Principles
Issued: January 01 2009As part of the sweeping changes recommended in the recent Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) report on privacy, the ALRC has recommended the adoption of a unified set of privacy principles (UPPs) to replace the existing principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988, according to lawyers at Blake Dawson.
The ALRC considered whether the UPPs should take the form of high-level principles-based rules or be a detailed set of privacy specifications. It concluded that they should be principles-based rules. In light of the ALRC’s additional recommendations to introduce civil penalties for a breach of the UPPs and other remedies, Blake Dawson lawyers say they have queried whether a principles-based approach remains appropriate.
