FT/EA/2025/0102/GDPR - [2025] UKFTT 01137 (GRC)

Discussion and conclusions 

The Respondent provided the Applicant with a response to his complaint on 25 March 2025. I am satisfied that this response both provided an outcome to the complaint and demonstrated that the Respondent had given consideration to whether there were other appropriate steps which could be taken to progress the Applicant’s complaint. It appears to me therefore that there were no further appropriate steps which the Respondent ought reasonably to have taken to progress the complaint.  In making this decision I have given significant weight to the view of the Respondent as the expert regulator that there were no further appropriate steps he should have taken.

I therefore find an outcome was provided to the Applicant’s complaint and the Respondent’s handling of that complaint has been concluded. Accordingly, there is no further order to progress the handling of the Applicant’s complaint which the Tribunal can make in response to the Application.

The proceedings are therefore struck out under Rule 8(3)(a) because there is no reasonable prospect of them succeeding.
