The First-tier Tribunal dismissed Yarwood's appeal against the Information Commissioner's decision concerning a Freedom of Information request to the Crown Prosecution Service. The Tribunal determined that the CPS did not possess the requested information and upheld the application of exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act, emphasising the need to protect the integrity of the prosecution process. It concluded that the public interest did not favour disclosure, deeming the appeal without merit. The decision was formally signed on 29 December 2025.
