    (2)   A failure on the part of any person to comply with any provision of a code of practice for the time being in force under section (protection of the public through the application of a code of practice to specified disclosures) shall not of itself render him liable to any criminal or civil proceedings.

    (3)   A code of practice in force at any time under section (protection of the public through the application of a code of practice to specified disclosures) shall be admissible in evidence in any criminal or civil proceedings.

    (4)   If any provision of a code of practice issued or revised under section (protection of the public through the application of a code of practice to specified disclosures) appears to the Information Commissioner to be relevant to any question arising in the proceedings, or in connection with the exercise of that jurisdiction or the carrying out of those functions, in relation to a time when it was in force, that provision of the code shall be taken into account in determining that question.

    (5)   In this section "Information Commissioner" means the Commissioner established by the Data Protection Act 1998.'.
