Section 1207: Wrongful disclosure
3052.This section makes it an offence to disclose information in contravention of section 1206(3) if the disclosure reveals, or one can deduce, the identity of the person to whom the information relates. It is based on paragraph 25 of Schedule 5 to FA 2006.
3053.Subsection (6)(b) does not reproduce the reference to “Scotland” in paragraph 25(7) of Schedule 5 to FA 2006. That is because section 45(1) of the Criminal Proceedings etc (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007 (ASP 6) (brought into force on 10 December 2007) has the effect that the 12 month limit in paragraph 25(4)(b) of Schedule 5 to FA 2006 applies in Scotland.
