Her Majestys Courts Service (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50366137 (20 June 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested the names and addresses of all individuals summoned for jury service at the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts in Birmingham in July 2009. Her Majesty-™s Courts and Service (HMCS), an executive agency of The Ministry of Justice, refused the request on the basis of sections 40(2), 38(1)(a) and 38(1)(b). (In submissions to the Commissioner it also subsequently claimed that the requested information was also exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 31(1)(c).) The Commissioner has concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 40(2) of the Act but in handling the request HMCS committed a number of procedural breaches of the Act. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0189 struck out.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
