5 June 2014, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information from the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) relating to a complaint it had investigated. PONI provided some of the requested information to the complainant but withheld other information under section 44 as it was subject to a statutory bar on disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that PONI was entitled to rely on section 44 and requires no further steps to be taken.
FOI 44: Not upheld
