No, it is not unusual to challenge them. However, it is generally accepted that Government bodies and Departments adhere to the rulings of statutory agencies. That is why this hit the headlines - the Department completely ignored and dismissed the ruling. It begs the question; does the Department recognise that the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner has powers akin to those of a court?
