High Court refuses an application to refer preliminary questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the right to have judicial proceedings anonymised in a case involving the right to be forgotten under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The court determined that the questions posed were not necessary to enable judgment on the applicant's request for in camera proceedings or anonymisation, as the court had already delivered a decision on these matters. The applicant's argument to revisit the judgment was also denied, with no "strong reasons" presented to warrant such a reconsideration. The court concluded that the applicant retains the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal, and thus the issue of the court of last resort does not arise.
