Ministry of Justice
25 May 2016, Central government
The complainant requested information from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) relating to unreconciled payments on account (POA) of legal work to law firms in legally aided cases. The MoJ ultimately refused to provide the requested information citing section 12 (cost of compliance) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MoJ was entitled to rely on section 12 as its basis for refusing to respond to the request. It has also provided adequate advice and assistance in accordance with section 16 of the FOIA. No steps are required as a result of this decision.
