Ministry of Justice (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50410999 (25 June 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the salary review conducted for the post of Information Commissioner towards the end of Richard Thomas- tenure in that post. The public authority (-MoJ-) made a substantial disclosure but withheld a small portion of the requested information. It cited section 42 (legal professional privilege), section 36 (effective conduct of public affairs), section 40 (unfair disclosure of personal data) and section 35 (ministerial communications) as its bases for doing so. During the course of the Commissioner-s investigation, MoJ made a further disclosure. The Commissioner-s decision is that the MoJ is entitled to withhold the remainder based on the exemptions it has cited.
