Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's decision dismissing an appeal by a former employee regarding data access and surveillance complaints, where the Data Protection Commissioner's decision partially upheld the appellant's complaints, but he appealed the decision concerning the installation of covert CCTV, access to personal data, and email monitoring, on the grounds that the appellant had failed to identify a point of law in his appeal; and the court also noted the need for reform in the multiplicity of appeals allowed under data protection legislation.
