The Information Commissioner's Office ICO advisers state that one “shouldn't” be treated any directly or less favourably as a result of exercising one’s rights under the legislation. What legal provision backs this?
Does some section of the data protection act cover the issue? Or some broader principle under common law that states where the legislature grants a right or remedy to a person and they are spited or punished for exercising it then this is somehow seen in the eyes of the law as intrinsically wrong?
