In Re Pinochet Ugarte
7 Jan 2000 QBD	Criminal Practice, Extradition, Information	Casemap 1 Cites 1 Citers
	In extradition proceedings which had been before the House of Lords it might be right for the papers to be served on interested third parties and human rights organisations. At that level, the matter discussed were primarily legal. However when the matter was at divisional level or below there had to be overwhelming reason for such bodies to be party to what were essentially criminal proceedings. No such reason was shown here, and no papers would be served.

Regina -v- Chief Constables of C and D, Ex Parte A
7 Nov 2000 QBD	Police, Judicial Review, Information
	The passing of sensitive personal information between one force and another was not a decision subject to obligations which made it subject to judicial review. Information falling short of convictions could properly be passed, and information passed between police forces rather than between police forces and other authorities was subject to lesser controls. There was no breach of the Data Protection Acts. With regard to the earlier Act the data was processed manually, and for both, the information passed was for the purposes of prevention and detection of crime. Disclosures outside the police force were required to pass the test of being to satisfy a pressing need.
