What is Purpose Code 'B' restricted to?

Purpose Code 'B' is specifically restricted to solicitors and summary court judges. This limitation is set to ensure that sensitive information accessed under this purpose code is used appropriately within the legal framework, particularly concerning cases that fall under the jurisdiction of solicitors and judicial functions of summary court judges. These individuals require access to certain data to fulfill their roles effectively, which may involve investigating cases, aiding legal proceedings, or making informed judicial decisions.

Access for other groups, such as law enforcement officers, probation officers, and public defenders, is managed through different purpose codes designed for their specific needs and responsibilities. While they may access certain data types, Purpose Code 'B' is distinctly defined to maintain the integrity and confidentiality required for solicitors and summary court judges in their professional capacities.
