Judicial Summary

“Information Rights - appeal allowed against First-tier Tribunal decision. Decision set aside and remitted to a freshly constituted First-tier Tribunal for rehearing. The First-tier Tribunal erred in law in deciding that West Yorkshire Police did not hold any further information in relation to the Appellant’s request than that which it had already disclosed. The First-tier Tribunal took into account irrelevant matters by relying upon submissions for which there was no evidential basis and failed to take into account relevant matters.”
