Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the sentencing of three individuals convicted of the murder of Nelly Bubb at Exeter Crown Court in 1973. The complainant requested court records relating to the case. The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) explained that, due to their age, such records would have been sent to The National Archives (TNA). While the complainant successfully obtained most of the information from TNA one document -“ the indictment -“ was not available. The MOJ has explained that it does not hold any information relating to this case. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the MOJ has complied with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the FOIA) in this case in that it stated correctly that the information requested was not held.
