Morris v Information Commissioner [2025] UKFTT 1209 (GRC) (05 January 2026)

The application was struck out because the Information Commissioner had already provided a response to the complaint, and the Tribunal has no power to require further steps once an outcome has been produced. The application therefore had no reasonable prospects of success.
