For more information about our processing of personal data as required by

LEXISNEXIS FAIR PROCESSING STATEMENT

Some of the content that we provide within our database services, by its very
nature, includes personal information. This fair processing statement provides
details about the personal information contained in our service content.

Case Law, Legal Analysis and Reviews

For where local legislation or court embargos apply, the case law and legal
analysis that reference to this case law which we provide as part of our
Services may include personal information.

It should be stressed that such personal information is a matter of official
court / public record. This information has been supplied to LexisNexis for
publication to our clients by the public bodies concerned in the interests of
upholding and protecting the rule of law. Further, it is important to the
effectiveness of legal systems globally that our users can draw on a body of
historical case law, including through understanding the circumstances of the
individuals referred to therein.

While the authors of the papers, journals and case commentary that we provide
via our Services may refer to such records, we have no power over what is
reported within the court records themselves. It is for the court to decide what
personal information is to remain within the records that they disclose, and the
balance to be struck between the public interests in disclosure and the privacy
rights of individuals.

Please refer to the main section of this privacy policy for details on your
rights, retention, locations of processing, and contact details for any privacy
and data protection inquiries.
