Attorney Generals Office (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50299845 (31 March 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested from the public authority information generated by a police investigation into his allegations of the forgery of witness statements. The public authority relied on sections 40(2) and 41 of the Act to withhold the information. The Commissioner-™s decision is that it correctly relied upon section 40(2) as a basis to withhold the information. However he has found procedural breaches of the Act in relation to the public authority-™s handling of the request and has also expressed concern at the length of time it took for the public authority to conduct the internal review.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
