Treasury Solicitors (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50277340 (24 January 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request to the Treasury Solicitor-™ Department (TSol) for information to complement and complete information requested under the Data Protection Act. In respect of one part of the request, TSol disclosed some information but withheld the balance citing the exemption in section 42(1) (legal professional privilege). TSol applied section 14(1) to the remainder of the request. The Commissioner has decided that TSol was correct to do so, but finds that it failed to comply with the procedural requirements of sections 1(1)(a) and 17(1) in its handling of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 42 - Complaint Not upheld
