The complainant requested information related to a review conducted between the FSA and Lincoln Assurance Limited. The FSA disclosed some information but withheld some documents under section 43 and others under section 44 of the Act. The Commissioner investigated the application of both exemptions and found that the FSA was correct to apply section 44. However, the Commissioner found that section 43 was not engaged and the Commissioner therefore requires the FSA to disclose the information withheld by virtue of section 43 within 35 calendar days from the date of this notice.
