If you will not pass on your name and address, and they have no other way of obtaining them, they are then obliged not to complete the sale or else face a possible fine of �1000.

I suppose that would depend on the retailer making the decision that the sale is worth any resulting fine and court costs.
As an example:
Retailer sells 10 TVs worth a total �11,400. Does not pass on details. Fined �10,000 and �1,400 costs.
Net result - retailer gives away 10 TVs; purchasers make donations equivalent to sale price to TV Licensing and judiciary.

I work in Tesco and if the customer has a clubcard then they are not required to fill in a form.
If there isn't a clubcard then a form is generated by the till and the customer is asked to complete it. HOWEVER, no proof of address is required so the customer could write anything they like.
Barmy or what ?
