The Scottish Borders Council, through its Appeal against its recent Monetary Penalty Notice (MPN), could undermine the “prompt payment” discount offered by the Information Commissioner. In its Press Release dated October 22nd, the Council said it had launched an appeal over the size of a penalty from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) after a self-reported data breach. The ICO issued a £250,000 fine to Scottish Borders last month after files relating to the Council were discovered in a recycling bank.
