Summary
The Metropolitan Police suffered a legal setback as the High Court upheld the disciplinary panel’s decision to clear Detective Constable Tyrone Ward of misconduct over his access to confidential files tied to the Sarah Everard murder. Though the Met argued the panel’s reasoning was flawed, Justice Murray ruled they couldn’t prove any procedural error. Ward claimed he was simply checking custody records for operational needs — a point the panel supported, praising him as a good officer. While Ward was cleared, three other officers were found guilty of misconduct. The ruling closes the door on the Met’s attempt to overturn the decision, highlighting ongoing tensions over police handling of sensitive data following Everard’s tragic death.
