Ministry of Justice (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50312622 (05 May 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information about cases heard by a deceased chairman of the Edinburgh Employment Tribunals. The public authority refused the request under section 12(1) of the Act on the grounds that the costs of locating, retrieving and extracting the information would substantially exceed the appropriate limit. While the Commissioner accepted that to comply with the request would exceed the costs limit, he found that the public authority-™s refusal notice failed to properly explain that it was unable to confirm whether it held some of the requested information without exceeding the costs limit. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0122 struck out.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
