    (2)
    access to the data is not made dependent on a prior review by a court or an independent administrative body whose decision limits access to and use of the data to what is strictly necessary for the purpose of attaining the objective pursued
    AND IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    2.
    Section 1 of the said Act is disapplied:
