Companies (and individuals) targeted for fines like this can then, in the jargon, &#8220;make representations&#8221; about the size of the punishment.<\/p>\n<p>The ICO threatened British Airways with the jumbo-sized fine after the airline <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/09\/06\/british_airways_hacked\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffered the breach of 380,000 people&#8217;s personal and financial details<\/a> between August and September 2018.<\/p>\n<p>As for Marriott, the ICO bared its fangs at the American hotel chain <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/07\/09\/marriott_hotels_ico_fine_intention_99m_starwood_breach\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">after 383 million customer booking records went AWOL in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mishcon&#8217;s data protection adviser, Jon Baines, told <em>The Register<\/em> that he suspected both companies had deployed similar legal arguments to Facebook when it fought back against a Cambridge Analytica-linked fine.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;It&#8217;s important to note that the extension could only be by agreement with BA and Marriott (they could have just said &#8216;no&#8217;). One does wonder in what way an extension was seen by them, therefore, to be a favourable outcome, and, on the information available, I&#8217;m struggling to see any way in which they would have agreed to an extension without some quid pro quo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While it is possible, in Baines&#8217; view, that &#8220;that the delay is solely because it&#8217;s jolly difficult to deal with all the necessary administrative requirements within a six-month window,&#8221; he pointed <em>The Register<\/em> to a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/panopticonblog.com\/2019\/07\/10\/the-facebook-appeal-and-procedural-grounds\/\">blog post<\/a> discussing exactly what legal arguments Facebook deployed to get an ICO fine watered down.<\/p>\n<p>He opined: &#8220;It&#8217;s worth remembering the ICO is a relatively small regulator (although large compared to its European counterparts) with a limited legal budget.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the ICO&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/media\/about-the-ico\/documents\/2616483\/mgmt-accounts-201910.pdf\">published management accounts<\/a> (PDF), its legal budget is a smidgen over \u00a32m per year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Assuming,&#8221; continued Baines, &#8220;that BA and Marriott decided they should not simply accept the intended fines, they will have no doubt put whatever they think is an appropriate legal budget towards making representations \u2013 when threatened with a fine in the tens of millions of pounds, such a budget might well dwarf the ICO\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>British Airways declined to comment. Marriott had not responded to our request for comment by the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing obliging the ICO to publish the final outcome of its negotiations with BA and Marriott,
