The complainant asked the Crown Prosecution Service to provide information relating to the prosecution of a named individual. The public authority refused to disclose this using the exemptions under sections 30, 40 and 42 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exemption in section 40(2) is engaged for the entirety of the information and that disclosure would breach the Data Protection Act 1998. He has not therefore considered the other exemptions cited. The complaint is not upheld. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0113 part allowed.
