Summary: The complainant requested a timeline of an investigation carried out by the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI). PONI initially refused the request under section 44 of the Act, but released the information following an internal review. The Commissioner-™s decision is that PONI failed to comply with section 10(1) of the Act in that it failed to provide the requested information to the complainant within the statutory time for compliance. However, as the information has now been provided the Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
