The secure management of personal digital information is becoming a key challenge for organisations, and new UK legislation makes them liable to heavy fines if they commit serious breaches of the Data Protection Act (DPA). Compliance experts IT Governance have therefore launched a 'DPA Compliance Toolkit', which provides all the templates and tools organisations need to achieve compliance in the shortest possible time.

(Legal And Law News and Information) In Rolfs vs Kia Motors America Hi Desert Kia a dealership San Bernadino County Victorville Court Case VCVVS 041487 Stephanie Tatar trial attorney with Norman Taylor Associates httpwwwnormantaylorcom a wellknown California Lemon Law firm took on the Korean Auto manufacturing giant and won It was one of those rare occasions when the jury awarded the plaintiff a double civil penalty The total settlement requires Kia to pay 799080 for the repurchase of the vehicle and 1598160 damages awarded by the jury additionally subject to the courts consideration there will be a motion for prejudgment interest plus attorneys fees and costs Presiding at trial was the Honorable Thomas GarzaHeather Rolfs the driver of the car in question is a diminutive softspoken young lady with a cheerful smile and considerable poise for her age Currently Heather Rolfs is in the Army stationed at Fort Bragg North Carolina Her job in the Army is truck driver Since joining the Army she has been to several schools where she was taught to drive Semis 18wheelers fiveton trucks and other heavy vehicles Most of these vehicles have manual transmissions Driving vehicles with a manual transmission was not foreign to Heather Rolfs She had been driving her fathers Mazda and other vehicles with manual transmissions since she was 14 years old If you met her youd have no trouble imagining her at the wheel of one of these big military vehicles Certainly the Army has confidence in Heather as she is scheduled to ship out to Afghanistan to pursue her career This young woman is self reliant and possessed of good common sense She worked from an early age to support herself while attending classes at collegeIn 2005 Terri and Lorri Rolfs bought their daughter Heather a 2005 Kia Rio for her 18th birthday Within a couple months the clutch failed The vehicle was towed to the dealership for repairs At no time during this process did anyone from the dealership ever call Heather Rolfs to let her know what was wrong with her car or suggest that she was the cause of the defect Mr Rolfs picked up the car when repairs were complete and brought it home Not long after the 1st repair attempt the clutch failed again When the vehicle was presented for the 2nd repair attempt the dealership refused to repair the vehicle asserting the defect was caused by driver abuse Remember Heather had been driving manual transmission vehicles since the age of fourteen To suggest that she did not know how to drive a manual shift vehicle was disingenuous at best Perhaps someone at the dealership hoped to support their accusation based on Heather Rolfs age and gender Anyone speaking with Heather Rolfs for a few moments would dismiss this ideaDealership personnel further stated after the fact that the 1st defect had also been caused by driver abuse It is odd that they wouldnt have mentioned this at the time of the first defect but then this case is filled with these peculiar inconsistencies For example service personnel never took the vehicle out for a test drive or made any other attempt to ascertain the exact cause of the defect they simply asserted that the defect was caused by driver abuse It should be noted that the 1st repair order said that it had been repaired under warranty Miraculously the dealership produced another repair order nine months after the second repair stating that the first repair had been done as a good will gesture With this miracle document in hand the dealership could claim that although the vehicle defect was caused by Heather Rolfs abuse they went ahead with repairs out of the goodness of their hearts rather than as required under the terms of the warranty However after the second clutch malfunction Kias extraordinary charity came to an end The dealership absolutely refused to repair the vehicle At this point Norman Taylor Associates httpwwwnormantaylorcom took the case This was in February of 2006 Over two years later during which time Heather did not have her vehicle the case went to trial Why did this happen It is difficult to understand Why did Kia bring out the full weight and power of its legal apparatus Perhaps they thought If we crush this individual who has dared to complain it will intimidate others who have similar problems with their vehicles and they will be less willing to come forward and take advantage of Californias excellent Lemon Law httpwwwnormantaylorcomlemonlawhtmlSays Attorney Tatar This was one of those cases where you wonder why Kia let this case go to trial in the first place The facts were clear the amount of money negligible and the plaintiff a responsible member of our countrys military Heather Rolfs simply wanted her car to work properly so that she could get on with her life Instead she lost the use of her car wasted her time and that of her parents and all the others involved in the case Fortunately common sense and the law prevailed Although Heather Rolfs doesnt have her car she can take satisfaction in having the personal integrity to remain steadfast through this test...
