High Court dismisses an appeal challenging the Data Protection Commission's (DPC) decision regarding access to personal examination data, in circumstances where the appellant sought original examination scripts and related marking schemes, alleging that the provided copies were inaccurate and that the DPC's investigation was inadequate; but the court finds no errors in the DPC's decision or the Circuit Court's judgment, affirming that the DPC acted within its statutory remit and that the appellant's request for original documents was not supported by law.
