The complainant has requested information in the form of correspondence between the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (“the CCNI”) and certain other organisations between specified dates. The CCNI applied section 12(1) of FOIA to the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CCNI has correctly applied section 12(1) to the requested information. As the CCNI has also offered the complainant several opportunities to narrow and/or refine her request, the Commissioner is also satisfied that the CCNI has fulfilled its obligations under section 16 of FOIA to provide advice and assistance to the complainant. The Commissioner therefore requires no steps to be taken.
