Charity Commission (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50398765 (21 November 2011)
Summary: The complainant has requested the legal opinion provided to the Charity Commission by the Tate Gallery-™s counsel about insurance monies relating to two stolen Turner paintings. The Charity Commission refused this request on the basis that the information was provided to them in confidence (section 41 of the FOIA). The Charity Commission then later also applied the legal professional privilege exemption (section 42) to withhold the information. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the Charity Commission has correctly applied the legal professional privilege exemption to withhold the requested information.
