Ministry of Defence (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50485894 (17 September 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to an incident in Cherbourg Marina in September 2011. The MOD disclosed some information within scope of the request but withheld the remainder, citing the exemptions in sections 31 (law enforcement), 40 (personal information) and 42 (legal professional privilege).
