Crown Prosecution Service

The complainant requested information relating to his late brother’s prosecution. By the date of this notice the Crown Prosecution Service (‘the CPS’) had yet to provide a substantive response to this request. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the CPS breached section 10 of the FOIA in that it has failed to provide a response to the request. The Commissioner requires the CPS to issue a response to the request under the FOIA by either complying with section 1(1) or issuing a valid refusal notice.
