From BBC:
An appeal hearing has overturned a £250,000 fine for Scottish Borders Council over data protection failings.
The Information Commissioner’s Office issued the Monetary Penalty Notice (MPN) in September last year.
SBC paid the fine to get a 20% discount but lodged an appeal saying the scale of it was “very disappointing”.
A four-day hearing of the Information Tribunal ruled there were insufficient grounds to justify the MPN and that the money paid should be refunded.
