Home Office
2 February 2016, Central government
The complainants requested internal communications relating to a judgment by the Court of Justice of the EU. The Home Office refused the request on cost grounds under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office cited section 12(1) correctly, so it was not obliged to comply with this request, although it did breach section 16(1) of the FOIA by failing to provide advice to the complainants and section 17(5) by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Upheld FOI 17: Upheld
