Ministry of Justice
5 February 2015, Central government
The complainant requested information about the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) position on recommendations from the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) relating to pay for Employment Judges. The MoJ confirmed it held the requested information but refused to disclose it, citing sections 35(1)(a) (formulation of government policy) and 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner has investigated MoJ’s application of section 35. His decision is that the requested information engages the exemption in section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA but that the public interest favours disclosing some of that information. The Commissioner requires MoJ to disclose the information which he finds cannot be withheld in the public interest. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0054 withdrawn.
FOI 35: Partly upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
