The Application

The Appellant applied to the Tribunal by way of form GRC1 on 4 April 2025. He stated that the outcome he was seeking was as follows:

“I respectfully ask the Tribunal to allow this appeal and set aside the Information Commissioner’s final decision dated 2 April 2025 (Reference: IC-332100-Z6F9), which concluded that my complaint had been “dealt with appropriately” and would not be pursued further.

I am asking the Tribunal to:

Find that the ICO failed to investigate my data protection complaint to an “appropriate extent” under Section 165(4) DPA 2018, particularly in relation to the lawfulness of Riverside Housing Association’s disclosure of my personal data to the DWP;

Recognise that the ICO misinterpreted or failed to consider the relevance of the High Court judgment in R (Roberts) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2025] EWHC 51 (Admin), which directly impacts the legal context of the data processing in question;

Direct the ICO to conduct a fresh and legally robust investigation, assessing whether Riverside had a valid lawful basis for sharing my data without my knowledge or consent, and whether this breached Articles 5 and 6 of the UK GDPR;

Consider any further directions it sees fit in order to protect my rights as a data subject under the UK GDPR.”
