Sussex Police

Following a decision in an earlier matter by the First-Tier Tribunal (Information Rights) the complainant requested from Sussex Police information about calls made to a named mobile telephone in connection with an inquest into the death of a person whose body was found at Beachy Head. The Commissioner found that Sussex Police had held the information requested but, by the time of the information request, had passed their file to the Coroner. The Commissioner decided that the information requested was not held by Sussex Police at the date of the request and was not being held by the Coroner on their behalf. The Commissioner does not require Sussex Police to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0230 dismissed.
