The travesty basically rests with the CPS for failing to pursue a conviction for the more serious offence.
Following the sentencing (17/05/15) sufficient information in the case will already exist within the public domain that a request for information relating to the decision on prosecution shouldn't be prejudiced by Data Protection or by an ongoing case. This may be subject to whether Barry Meyer expresses an intention to launch an appeal. It's unlikely as it appears that he has now admitted guilt.
This kind of prosecution seems to be part of a trend in relation to road traffic deaths and an understanding of how these travesties come about will likely give us the best idea as to how to go about addressing them effectively and preventing them in the future.
