Financial Services Authority (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50246664 (23 February 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested information that comprised of an internal legal advice and related documents generated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The FSA confirmed it held the requested information but relied on section 42 (legal professional privilege) not to communicate it to the complainant. The Commissioner finds that section 42 is engaged and that the public interest test favours the maintenance of the exemption. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0065 has been dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
