The complainant has requested the identity of the Deputy Chairman of a named Magistrates’ Court Advisory Committee and who was said to have dealt with his complaint. The Ministry of Justice relied upon the section 14(1) exemption of FOIA in refusing the request. The Commissioner decided that the Ministry of Justice had applied the section 14(1) FOIA exemption correctly. She therefore does not require the Ministry of Justice to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 14: Not upheld
