Lawyers for then-INM chief executive Robert Pitt gave the company information to that effect last August, the High Court heard. He said it would appear, based on information obtained to date, that “Mr Pitt may have been right and Mr Buckley may have been wrong”. INM’s IT director Gerry Wilde disputes a number of matters set out by Mr Pitt arising from a conversation between them, counsel also said. INM had notified the DPC on August 24th but the ODCE had raised various points about that notification, he said. INM had told the DPC the data was accessed for a “limited business purpose” when INM had information suggesting it could not be “quite so confident about that”.
