The First-tier Tribunal dismissed David King's application against the Information Commissioner under Rule 8(3)(c) for lacking reasonable prospects of success. It determined that it lacked jurisdiction to review the substantive outcome of the Commissioner’s investigation into King's complaint about Royal Mail, finding that the Commissioner had adequately addressed the complaint. The Tribunal concluded it could only consider procedural issues under section 166 of the Data Protection Act 2018, resulting in the application being dismissed without a hearing.
