Attorney Generals Office (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50481302 (03 June 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested any advice requested by or given to any governmental or quasi-governmental body regarding whether it is legitimate or not to recognise any purported authority of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Attorney General-™s Office (AGO) has correctly relied on the section 35(3) FOIA exemption by virtue of section 35(1)(c) FOIA (Law Officers-™ advice) in refusing to confirm or deny whether it held the information requested. The Commissioner found that the balance of the public interest under section 35(3) favoured maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require AGO to take any action.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 35 - Complaint Not upheld
