Is the CPS advocate immune from suit in respect of anything said or done in the course of a bail hearing, including the disclosure of a vulnerable person’s confidential address to their abusive ex-partner?

If the common law immunity does exist and apply, does it bar claims under the Human Rights Act 1998 and Data Protection Act 2018?
