The complainant has requested information relating to a complaint made to the Financial Ombudsman Service. The FOS identified information within the scope of the request and provided the majority of this to the complainant on a discretionary basis. The remaining information was withheld on the basis of section 40(2), 41 and 42(1) of the FOIA. Having considered the exemptions, the Commissioner’s decision is that the FOS has correctly withheld the remaining information under sections 40(2) and 42(1) of the FOIA.
