The complainant made three requests for information to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) refused a previous request under section 14 of the FOIA and that refusal was upheld by the Commissioner. The MoJ are now relying on section 17(6) of the FOIA to not respond to these three further requests for information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ has correctly relied on section 17(6) of the FOIA and so was not obliged to respond to the three information requests in question. The Commissioner does not require the MoJ to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 17: Not upheld
