Ministry of Justice
4 October 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a multi-part request to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) requesting information relating to a job re-grading exercise. Having initially cited other exemptions, the MoJ revisited the request during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation and cited section 12 of the FOIA (cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limit). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ correctly applied section 12. However, in failing to provide a response within 20 working days of the request, the MoJ breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 12: Not upheld
