UK Info Commish quietly urged court to swat away 100k Morrisons data breach sueball

Can't really see the court's argument here.

If Morrisons had been negligent and let someone have access through poor security or policy then yes. But he was legitimately authorised : he just abused that permission. How was Morrisons supposed to stop that ?

If someone over 18 stole a kitchen knife from their store and stabbed someone with it, would the store be an accessory ?
