The Investigatory Powers Tribunal directed enquiries into the claims of six of 663 claimants who alleged that the respondents had illegally accessed information about them. It further dismissed the human rights claims of non-UK residents for lack of jurisdiction and gave the claimants 28 days to make further submissions on the remaining claims or the proceedings would be dismissed.
