Mr. McIntyre's fourth point concerned a data protection officer who may be victimised. I think the witnesses want a specific statutory protection for that officer in the legislation. Will Mr. McIntyre give me an example of the type of victimisation he is talking about? When I first heard him say it, I thought that surely there would be a standard remedy in terms of going to court, be it for wrongful dismissal or something else. Could an individual not pursue an action for wrongful dismissal as well as it stands at present?
