Mr Gerry Woodhouse v Information Commissioner: [2026] UKUT 313 (AAC)
The Upper Tribunal considered whether information held by the Information Commissioner could be withheld under the FOIA absolute exemption where disclosure is prohibited by section 132 of the Data Protection Act 2018. It found that the First-tier Tribunal had not adequately addressed whether parts of the material could be disclosed without revealing protected information, or whether some information had already entered the public domain through council meetings, and remitted the case for reconsideration.
