Summary: The complainant requested a variety of information, including information on files and records relating to him and held by the Law Officers, papers generated in the proceedings brought against him under section 42 of the Supreme Court Act 1981, and access to all communications between the public authority and named third parties. Part of the information was withheld under sections 30, 31 and 42. After a careful review of the relevant statutes, the information on the file, and submissions received from both parties, the Commissioner has agreed with TSOL that the exemptions cited above are applicable to the requested information, which is therefore exempt from release. This decision is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
