  • Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld

The complainant requested information from the Crown Prosecution Service (“the CPS”) as a follow up to a previous request relating to the outcome of CPS review and reasons, as well as the name of the Court which dealt with a specific case. The CPS provided some information in the form of a table in response to part one of the request but withheld the information for part two under section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information in part two of the request is the personal data of third parties and is exempt under section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the CPS to take any steps.
