Case Summary

A company can be liable for violation of Australia's Privacy Act if it publishes personal information concerning an individual without the individual's knowledge or consent and it is not clear from the privacy policies of the company that the information will be published. This is especially true when an individual wishes to remain unlisted.

The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
