The complainant has requested information regarding tribunal decisions from the Office of the Industrial Tribunal and Fair Employment Tribunal (OITFET). This is a Non-Department Public Body which is overseen by the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland. The OITFET disclosed some information to the complainant, however it refused to disclose the remainder (“the withheld information”) citing section 40(2) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the OITFET has correctly applied section 40(2) to the withheld information. Therefore she requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 40: Not upheld
