Ministry of Justice
18 January 2016, Central government
The complainant requested information about a named councillor who is also a Justice of the Peace/Magistrate. The Ministry of Justice (the ‘MOJ’) refused to confirm or deny whether it held the requested information, citing section 40(5)(b)(i) (personal information). The Commissioner’s decision is that the MOJ has properly relied on section 40(5) to refuse this request. He does not require the MOJ to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
