* 14 November 201&: Inquiry Chair, John Mitting indicates he is 'minded to' restrict HN345's real name but that the cover name will be published. The Chair wrote:<ref name="mitting.mindedto2.14Nov17"/>
:: Since leaving the Metropolitan Police Service, he has worked in a variety of jobs and is still working. Publication of his real name would risk impairing his current source of income. It would also serve no useful purpose. It would involve some interference with his right to respect for private life under Article 8... in the right to disclose his true identity for purposes of his choosing and to withhold disclosure for other purposes. Although the interference would not be great, it would be disproportionate to any end which it would serve, principally to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference. Accordingly, it would not be justified under Article 8(2).

* 8 April 2018: cover name and target groups published.<ref name="email.ucpi.8Apr2018"/>

* 15 May 2018: Ruling - real name to be restricted, with Mitting stating 'Neither of the two reasons for the termination of his deployment have any bearing on the decision' to restrict the real name.<ref name="mitting.ruling.15May18">[https://www.ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20180515_ruling_SDS_anonymity.pdf In the matter of section 19 (3) of the Inquiries Act 2005 Applications for restriction orders in respect of the real and cover names of officers of the Special Operations Squad and the Special Demonstrations Squad: Ruling], ''Undercover Policing Inquiry'', 15 May 2018.</ref>
