The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the requested information is held by a firm of solicitors on behalf of the public authority, but is exempt from disclosure under the provisions of the exemption provided at section 32 of FOIA, because the information is held only by virtue of being contained in documents which have been filed with a court for the purposes of proceedings. He does not require any action to be taken.
