Ministry of Justice
11 November 2015, Central government
The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) relating to advice provided on draft proposed legislation to regulate the provision of electricity on Sark. The MoJ initially withheld the information on the basis of section 27 of FOIA (international relations). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation it also relied on section 42 (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner has investigated MoJ’s application of section 27(1)(a). He has concluded that the requested information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 27(1)(a) and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. He requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
FOI 27: Not upheld
