[2024] UKUT 427 (AAC)

A Rule 14 Order had previously been made by an Upper Tribunal Registrar, but this only covered the appellant’s colleague LS. At the start of the hearing, we asked DBS if they also sought other Rule 14 orders and they confirmed that they sought Rule 14 orders in relation to all staff and service users named or otherwise identified in the documents, and had no objection to one being made in respect of the appellant. The appellant confirmed that she wished a Rule 14 order to be made in respect of her in order to protect her privacy and reputation. The parties considered that it may be necessary also to anonymise the name of the care home in which the appellant worked in order to avoid the possibility of ‘jigsaw identification’.
