Sorry to disagree with the general consensus (I'm not, really) but I believe
it is sensitive data as the CCJ is only issued after a failure by the
individual to accede to the court's decision.
Say for example you owe someone an amount of money and you dispute the amount
or the fact you owe it. The person takes you to court and the decision is
that the money is not owed. You walk away. If the court finds in the
creditor's favour, an order is made that you must pay up.
Failure to comply with the order to pay up is an offence in law. If you
commit that offence, a CCJ is issued against you. If you pay up, you do not get
one.
Ergo, CCJs are sensitive personal data.
