Government Legal Department
26 July 2016, Central government
The complainant submitted a request to the Government Legal Department (GLD) seeking information about the legal costs incurred by the government in relation to the proceedings in the Investigatory Powers Tribunal brought by Abdulhakim Belhaj. The GLD argued that the requested information was exempt from disclosure under FOIA on the basis of section 23(1) (security bodies). The Commissioner has concluded that the information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of this exemption.
FOI 23: Not upheld
